Gypsum, Colo. - Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), US Forest Service (USFS), and Eagle Valley Land Trust (EVLT) are working to capture community input as well as ensure a transparent process for Sweetwater Lake planning and development. You’re invited to a facilitated community discussion about the project and process.

Sweetwater Lake Community Conversation
May 18, 2022
5:00pm - 7:30pm
Sweetwater Community Center
0600 Sweetwater Road, Gypsum, CO 81637

Meeting Objectives:

• Build relationships and trust with the community by listening to concerns, interests, and ideas; answering community questions about the planning process (past, present, & future); and collaboratively identifying next steps.

• Identify opportunities and challenges for property planning from a variety of perspectives by sharing existing information and ongoing data collection plans. 

• Reflect community input to ensure ideas, concepts, and nuances are captured adequately and better understand expectations of community involvement.

This opportunity is open to any and all who want to join the discussion. We plan to use this time to focus on relationship building between the community and the project partners and identify key next steps to engage the community in the planning process. This will be one of many public and community engagement opportunities, to be offered both in person and virtual, throughout the planning process. If you are unable to attend, we hope you’ll continue to be involved and to see you at subsequent meetings.
