Colorado State University Coronavirus Update April 13th
This is Michael, owner of College Student Storage, I wanted to let you know we are doing in room pack ups for Colorado State University students and parents who have items left in the residence halls because they were on Spring break when this epidemic hit and do not wish to return to CSU to pack up their residence hall. CSS is a moving company and is an essential business and is allowed to be open even though all of Colorado is on a mandatory stay at home order.
