Annexation tour tops Pueblo council agenda

By JEFF TUCKER
THE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN

After getting a bird’s-eye view from maps and photographs of the proposed 24,000-acre Pueblo Springs Ranch annexation, the Pueblo City Council will get a closer look today.

Council is scheduled to meet briefly at 2 p.m. this afternoon before heading out to the property to take a tour of the proposed annexation north of the city.

In February, council gave preliminary approval to the petitions to annex the property into the city.

Council also has hired Design Studios West, a Denver land planning and landscape architecture firm, to work as consultants during the annexation process.

If annexed, the property would nearly double the area of the city. Because of the size of the proposed annexation area, the tour is expected to be lengthy.

Council is scheduled to start the tour at 2 p.m. and won’t be finished until 8 p.m.
