Here are a couple quick updates on some local actions and campaigns as we start the Summer months. We will return with a full newsletter in July.
The resistance to the proposed Buc-ee's Travel Center in the Tri-Lakes area is growing. The project would be located on the side of I-25 in the town of Palmer Lake. It has already been rejected twice from other locations, but the corporation continues to try to advance the project through other channels. Approximately 70% of area residents oppose building the center and have begun to organize and fundraise around the issue. Concerns over the project include the obscene amount of water the travel center would use, wildlife impacts, traffic congestion, waste runoff and light pollution. Sierra Club, like many other environmental groups, is concerned about the negative impact this project would have the area. Please look for continuing updates on this important issue.
