First community meeting Tuesday, Oct. 5.

Boulder County, Colo. - Boulder County, Lafayette, and Louisville have released the draft management plan for the Mayhoffer Farm Open Space property. The plan, public comment form, and detailed meeting schedule are posted at boco.org/mayhoffer.

The Mayhoffer Farm Open Space property is largely an agricultural property acquired by Boulder County, Lafayette, and Louisville to preserve and expand the rural buffer space between the two cities. The draft management plan intends to provide recommendations that balance multiple uses of the property, provide staff with a direction and common vision of what the Mayhoffer Farm will look like in the future, and guide management direction to achieve those identified uses and values.

Tuesday, Oct. 5, 6:30-7:30 p.m.
The student project team from CU Boulder’s Masters of the Environment program will present an overview of the draft management plan, recommendations, and an overview of the public input and approval process.
