In this morning's Denver Post (10/26, p. 13A), there's a story headlined "Firestone moves closer to development of disputed parcel." The sub-headline says "The three annexations will skirt Longmont claims near LifeBridge church's land."
First paragraph: "City planners say they have figured a way to develop the huge Union parcel in southwest Weld County owned by LifeBridge Christian Church, while circumventing roadblocks erected by neighboring Longmont." The largest of the three parcels proposed for annexation to Firestone "is the 170.5-acre Adams Farm property west of St. Vrain State Park." Would that possibly include the land (and trees) where the large rookery is located? I'm not trying to start rumors; I'm hoping someone who knows that part of Longmont and Weld County has a better idea of whether this proposal might impact the rookery. The article doesn't say anything about the future of the farm property -- whether or not it would stay a farm. And I don't know whether the rookery is on state park land or private land. I just became aware of that large rookery during 2009 -- long may it thrive!
