The Town of Telluride “Valley Floor” is now officially “Forever Wild”. Yesterday the Town passed a conservation easement that will preserve the 570-acres at the entry to the Town of Telluride that will keep the land as open space in perpetuity.
The conservation easement sets out permanent rules for what can and cannot be done on the property. It prohibits things like commercial construction, paving, mining and subdivisions. It allows uses such as hiking, biking and remediation. The land will be held in the land trust called The San Miguel Conservation Foundation.
This land has been set aside after years of contentious elections, raging public debate and a purchase price of $50 million to the previous owners who could have developed it into sixteen 35-acre parcels for single family homes. Email me at buzz@fedorka.com with any comments.
