Vona, Colorado

Vona is a small town on the eastern plains of Colorado that has seen some growth since 2000 but has also seen the local median income drop more than 30%. The town began along a siding on the railroad and grew quickly at first. Then a large fire burned most of the business district and the town never recovered.
