A contract to purchase the Glenwood Springs Mall property by would-be West Glenwood pasture developers R2 Partners has produced another concession aimed at convincing the city to approve its annexation and development plans.
A presentation of the annexation and zoning plans before Glenwood Springs City Council Thursday night included the donation of a 1-acre site to build a future new West Glenwood fire station.
In addition, R2 Partners would pay for 20% of the cost to build the new firehouse part of the developer’s efforts to address emergency response due to the threat of wildfires impacting the West Glenwood neighborhoods.

The developers of a multi-use development in West Glenwood announced Monday they are also under contract to purchase the adjacent Glenwood Springs Mall.
“R2 Partners and the Glenwood Springs Mall owner, Frank Woods, jointly announce that a contract is in place to purchase and redevelop the Glenwood Springs Mall in West Glenwood,” the real estate group said in a news release. A sale price was not disclosed.

Garfield County staff provided an impact analysis on the proposed annexation of 15 acres in West Glenwood during Monday’s county commissioners meeting, highlighting concerns about additional traffic congestion.
Wyatt Keesbery, Garfield County Road and Bridge Director, said that he would like to see the city annex and take ownership of Donegan Road, Storm King Road and Mel Ray Road, the three roadways that surround the proposed development site.
“I think this would be a great opportunity for the city of Glenwood Springs to take on all of West Glenwood,” Keesbery said.
“Right now there’s very limited use basically just West Glenwood uses those roads.”

Boebert dishonors her congressional oath
Rep. Lauren Boebert, while trying to figure out what she supported, came up with buzzwords more than policies, like “the Constitution.” This is approximately equivalent to supporting “puppies.”
As my father would say, “Saying doesn’t make it so.”
A whole three days after taking an oath to support and defend that Constitution, she voted to violate the very provision by which we select our president.
Now, given the opportunity to vote for a bipartisan commission to investigate the deadly attack on our Capitol to prevent the certification of the election a no-brainer vote if there ever was one she voted “no.”
