Residents and advocacy group urge Land Board to reconsider Maxwell Park geothermal lease
Summary
Public commenters representing Save Our Arkansas Valley and nearby residents urged the State Board of Land Commissioners to reconsider the Mount Princeton geothermal lease at Maxwell State Park, citing watershed and recreational concerns; staff and board said a future dedicated agenda item will address the lease and invited further engagement.
The board reserved a 10-minute public comment period for non-agenda items and specifically noted written public input it had received on the Maxwell Park geothermal lease. Multiple members of the public used the period to urge the board to reconsider or delay geothermal development at Maxwell State Park in Chaffee County.
Mike Krueger, president and CEO of the Colorado Solar and Storage Association, spoke in support of continued coordination between industry and the State Land Board to meet decarbonization goals, and urged the board to adopt processes that can handle greater project volumes while treating developers equally.
