(EL PASO COUNTY, Colo.) — El Paso County Parks & Community Services has announced additional public meetings to gather neighbors’ feedback on the planned Fox Run Nature Center and share the project’s progression.
The next public meeting for the project will be held Friday, Feb. 16, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Black Forest Community Club, followed by an open house on Thursday, March 14, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Pikes Peak Brewing Co.
“We value collaboration and are dedicated to making a positive difference in our community by serving the residents of El Paso County,” said El Paso County Parks & Community Services Executive Director Todd Marts. “Our nature centers are a cornerstone in our park system and have successfully developed life-long nature conservationists, advocates, and stewards of the great outdoors. We look forward to continuing the legacy of our award-winning centers and adding more programming for residents and visitors in northern El Paso County.”
Some neighbors have expressed concerns over the nature center, and the impact construction will have on the park’s ecosystem, as well as traffic concerns. Others are excited for the nature center, and hope it will bring more visitors to learn about and explore Fox Run Regional Park and everything it has to offer.
El Paso County Parks & Community Services said these scheduled public meetings are the 23rd and 24th outreach events in regard to the project. Those who cannot attend the meetings can submit comments by email to [email protected].
