We hope that you will consider coming and supporting this local development. Chaffee County is in extreme need of housing. Local businesses are having difficulty keeping employees, and frankly - many of the human assets of our community are preparing to take flight! This is important to the future of this county. Once these human assets leave all that will be left is to sell off to the highest bidder. The vision for this project is incredible and needed. Share with anyone you think would be interested in standing up and showing support. We need you there or for you to show your support in writing!
