The Colorado Springs City Council has unanimously approved TOPS acquisition of White Acres as open space. Because of limited TOPS funds, $75,000 in private funds will be needed this year to supplement TOPS funds. Friends of Red Rock Canyon has partnered with the Palmer Land Trust to raise this $75,000 plus an additional $640,000 to help with the upcoming purchase of Section 16. We have opened an account with the Pikes Peak Community Foundation to accept online donations.
White Acres has significant intrinsic value as open space; and its strategic location adjacent to Red Rock Canyon Open Space and Section 16 gives it special importance as part of a larger whole.
The City Council resolution authorizing the White Acres acquisition is available HERE.
