The Colorado Sun: A weekly alternative newspaper in Colorado Springs that went dark last year amid overwhelming debt will resume publishing in the spring, according to two local investors who announced Thursday they were purchasing the publication.

J.W. Roth and Kevin O’Neil said in a statement they purchased the Colorado Springs Independent, known as The Indy to readers, and Colorado Springs Business Journal in an effort to keep both publications operational and under local ownership.

“I take great pride in providing my hometown with another trusted, civic driven, and relevant publication,” Roth said in a statement, calling himself a fifth-generation Coloradan. “This opportunity offers the Independent and the Business Journal a chance to thrive under unprecedented stability. From the feedback that we are hearing, this is a welcomed change in historical landscape.”
