As election day looms closer and closer on the horizon, many Buena Vista citizens are just not sure whether the farm will indeed be able to stay or if it must go. In an effort to counter the growing concern of misinformation about the ballot issue 2H concerning Cottonwood Meadows, a number of meetings will be held leading up to November 4th, starting tonight. From The Weathervane Arrow blog:

This is an issue that could drastically affect the future of the current Weathervane Farm operation located on Cottonwood Meadows Property. Currently we are here by the generous invitation of John Cogswell, the Cottonwood Meadows land owner. In a culture where housing developments pave over productive farm land, The Cottonwood Meadows plan sees farming as a benefit to development. This development project seeks to involve several farm businesses as one of the many facets featured in a plan to build community and provide new amenities to the residents of the area. If 2H is voted down in November, John will likely be forced to sell and it is unlikely that a new buyer would be interested in keeping us on the property. To learn more about the issues and many benefits of the development there are several meetings scheduled in October.

Oct 13, League of Women Voters, Community Center, 7PM

Oct 13, 20, 27 and Nov 3 at the Evergreen, 6:30pm

Oct 21 - Delta Kappa Gamma (retired teachers) Sangre de Cristo community room 7 PM

Tonight’s meeting sponsored by the League of Women Voters will discuss issues surrounding measure 2H as part of its forum. Town Trustee, Keith Baker, encourages everyone on the CBV discussion board to:

Please come to this forum, listen, and ask tough questions. I believe once people hear the full facts they will support this annexation. The project and the agreement can withstand the most rigorous intellectual scrutiny. No bull - it’s a good deal for us.
