Council hears county openness to repurposing facility; horse racetrack seen as short‑term asset
Summary
A council member said county officials are open to working with Rangely on roughly 100 acres at a county facility and suggested reusing the horse racetrack rather than constructing an expensive indoor arena.
A council member (S4) told the council that county officials indicated willingness to work with the town on repurposing approximately 100 acres at a county facility.
S4 suggested the town consider alternatives to a costly indoor roping arena, saying the horse racetrack "is not up to snuff your race horses off" but could be used in the coming year for town activities. The speaker characterized county partners as open to creative reuse rather than a major new capital project.
No formal proposal, project plan, or budget was presented; the discussion was exploratory and councilors requested follow‑up ideas from colleagues and staff.
