Next Public Planning Workshop: Tonight, July 19, 2016
Continuing next week, the Town of Lyons, along with the hired consultant team, will move forward with its final series of public meetings for the Lyons Primary Planning Area (LPPA) Master Plan.
As part of this planning process, the LPPA has been broken out into three small areas: the Eastern Corridor & Gateway (Phase I -completed); South St. Vrain Area (Phase II); and Apple Valley (Phase III).

The LPPA includes parcels that are currently outside of Town limits, but within an area which has been designated as appropriate for future annexation and development according to the Boulder County – Town of Lyons 2012 Intergovernmental Agreement.
The workshop on July 18 will be the first workshop in this series.
