Colorado Springs, CO - As the weather warms up, the city of Colorado Springs is inviting local residents to say "Hey Neighbor" and get to know the people in their communities. The latest episode of the Behind the Springs podcast highlights the launch of the 1,000 Neighborhood Gatherings Initiative, a program aimed at fostering connections and building a stronger sense of community across the Pikes Peak region.

The podcast episode explores the benefits of these grassroots community-building efforts, including:
- Fostering a greater sense of belonging and support among Colorado families
- Connecting local businesses with potential new customers in their area
- Enhancing public safety and emergency preparedness at the neighborhood level
- Promoting Colorado's independent, self-reliant spirit and love of the outdoors
