Commissioners sign letter supporting multi‑county PDR application to CPW/GOCO
Summary
Routt County commissioners approved a letter of support for Purchase of Development Rights (PDR) project 222, a multi‑county application routed through Colorado Parks and Wildlife and Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO). The project team executed a confidentiality waiver enabling the county to provide public support.
Representatives of the Colorado Cattlemen’s Agricultural Land Trust (CCALT) and project partners asked the board for a letter of support for Project 222, a purchase‑of‑development‑rights application that spans Routt County and a neighboring county. Staff said the project had been handled at confidential Tier 1 status in the PDR process; the applicant supplied a signed waiver allowing the county to provide a public letter of support to be included with a joint application to Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s regional partnership initiative and to Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO).
County counsel reviewed the draft letter for consistency with county policy and confirmed that confidentiality waivers were on file. Commissioners voted to approve and authorize signatures on the letter of support. Staff said the county’s endorsement is intended to show local support for a project that preserves agricultural land and may strengthen the applicant’s combined CPW/GOCO funding request.
No fiscal commitment was requested from the county at this time; the board’s action was limited to a letter of local support.
