Feedback sought on fairgrounds master plan
The public is invited to view the Fairgrounds Master Plan proposal provided to the Eagle County Commissioners by Populous Architects and Crossroads Consulting. Both firms spent several months studying the site, evaluating the options and conducting a market assessment.
After reviewing the master plan proposal, constituents are invited to share their priorities via an online feedback form. Forms are available in English and Spanish. The comment period is now open and closes Monday, Oct. 31.
“The intention of this project is to develop a strategic master plan that is informed through a market assessment with user and public input,” said Eagle County Commissioner Jeanne McQueeney. “In addition to several public input sessions, the county is making available an online feedback form to provide options for the public to consider.”
Master Plans are intended to guide future growth and development. The Eagle County Government retained the services of Populus, a firm that specializes in planning and design for multi-event venues and Crossroads Consulting, which conducted a market assessment of the various project options. Both Populus and Crossroads Consulting assessed the advantages and disadvantages associated with the various options for development, renovation, expansion and operations of the facilities. The consultants also provided a phasing plan for future uses with operational considerations and a projected phased timing and budget schedule.
