New Homes for Sale in Colorado Springs Real Estate

News from the slightly more extreme sports front here at Colorado Springs New Homes today. A recent Colorado Springs Business Journal Blog post reports “Off-road motorcycle and four-wheel drive enthusiasts might soon get a 900-acre recreation park in El Paso County for practicing their sport.”

Indeed,

“The Board of County Commissioners has approved a resolution authorizing the Parks and Leisure Services Department to purchase or lease land located near County Highway 94 and Blaney Road in eastern El Paso County for an off-road vehicle park if the county receives a grant from the Colorado State Trails program.”

The project would:

• include at least 20 miles of trails after the first phase of construction

• be designed to “minimize environmental impacts”

• be in conjunction with Aztec Family Raceway

A point worth noting is that the park would not require taxpayer funding, so really this is a great situation for the Colorado Springs New Homes area, as four-wheeling enthusiasts would have a great place to spend their time; other four-wheeling enthusiasts could potentially be drawn here, giving our economy a slight boost; taxpayers will be none the worse for the wear. Sounds like a pretty great deal to us here at Colorado Springs New Homes.
