Chaffee County moves to incubate working‑lands resilience program with $250k–$300k proposal
Commissioners directed staff to advance a working‑lands resilience initiative that would incubate a coordinator role (housed in a local ag organization, not county staff) and develop a multi‑year working‑lands action plan; staff proposed $250,000–$300,000 over two years for coordinator and consultant costs.
