Community Radio Project, a Cortez-based 501(c)(3) non-profit, is the organization spearheading Cornerstone. The $900,000 project encompasses the preservation and renovation of the oldest existing bank structure in Cortez, originally constructed in 1908-1910. In 1908, masons cut and set a sandstone block - the cornerstone for the Montezuma Valley National Bank - on the corner of Main and Market streets in Cortez, Colorado. Today Cornerstone is a community development project that will create a hub of community, cultural and economic activity in the heart of Cortez, Colorado through the renovation of the historic landmark Montezuma Valley National Bank building.
