Park County gets another improvement in phone service

Brief by Central Staff

Communications – August 2001 – Colorado Central Magazine

Park County is getting more connected with itself all the time these days.

The most recent improvement, approved on June 28 by the Federal Communications Commission, is an expanded local calling zone, so that it’s a local call between Bailey and Fairplay.

They’re only 30 miles apart, but the complication had been a boundary known as a LATA, which is essentially an area code. Fairplay was in 719, and Bailey was in 303 (and now also 920).
