NOTE: Shea/CCU has withdrawn their proposal to purchase HRCA backcountry open space land. All remaining public meetings on this subject have been cancelled. View original proposal information here.
View the history of the CCU proposal here.
There is a group of residents opposed to this proposal. There are quite a few concerns they have. You can view this information at www.SaveHROpenSpace.org. If you have questions for them, or are also opposed to this proposal and would like to sign a petition, you can do so at .
There is a group of residents in favor of this proposal. You can see their information at http://hrcitizensforopenspace.blogspot.com.
However you feel, it is very important for you to take action by writing the people below, attending meetings, and by sharing this information with everyone you know. I have spoken with many people at the Recreation Centers (and elsewhere) and many residents do not know anything about this. Others have heard of it, but don't know anything about it, so they are not voicing an opinion.
Please share the facts and the email addresses below with everyone and encourage them to email their delegate, HRCA Board of directors, and Gary Debus. Please be specific with reasoning. Stating that you don't want it here or when you bought your home you weren't told it could be here, will not carry weight in the decision-making. You need to be thinking of things that affect all of Highlands Ranch, like those issues mentioned above. The HRCA Board will be reviewing these comments, so it is important that you get involved.

Here is the email address for Gary Debus, HRCA Community Manager:
We urge you all to attend the public meetings (dates/locations announced on the HRCA website). These public meetings are being hosted by CCU. You are also encouraged you to attend the HRCA RAC meetings which are held on the third Tuesday of every month. Most of those meetings are held at the Eastridge Rec Center. The December meeting will not be held at the Rec Center, as it is the holiday meeting which is held at the mansion.
For more information on the Public Meetings, location, maps and other details, please visit the HRCA web page:
