Gardener community demands action on two-year-old neighborhood plan from county officials

The Park County Commission meeting on June 17, 2025, spotlighted the urgent call from community representatives for action on the long-awaited Gardiner neighborhood plan. During the session, Pat and Lynn, key members of the core team advocating for the plan, expressed their frustration over the county's inaction since the plan's completion nearly two years ago.

"We feel like we're letting the community down," Lynn stated, emphasizing the extensive effort that went into gathering community feedback and shaping the plan. The team is eager to see the plan integrated into the county's growth policy and is seeking clarity on the necessary steps to move forward. They requested that the commission place an action item on the next agenda to initiate the adoption process.

The representatives underscored the importance of communication, asking the commission to keep them informed about progress and decisions regarding the plan. "Please, please, please, we're asking that something be done," Lynn urged, highlighting the community's anticipation for action.

In addition to the neighborhood plan discussion, the meeting included a public comment period, where residents were encouraged to voice concerns on various topics. The commission's response to the neighborhood plan request will be closely watched by the Gardiner community, as they await a definitive path forward.
