Discussion/Direction: Continuing the Discussion on Growth in Castle Rock
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Introduction
The Town has been successful in progressing toward the community’s vision of becoming a world-class community with small-town character.
Tonight’s presentation continues the discussion on growth in Castle Rock. In short, there are four points I want to emphasize regarding growth in Castle Rock:
1. The Town plans for high-quality growth
2. The Town’s finances are strong
3. The Town hears the community’s traffic concerns and is always working to respond and improve
4. The Town has plans to ensure adequate water supply exists for the community’s future
Notification and Outreach Efforts
In addition to being announced at the March 8 Town Council meeting, this agenda item was advertised on the Town website, through a news release and using the Town’s social media platforms.
Additionally, we have planned some additional community growth discussions.
