Citizens Determined to Save McArthur Gulch held its first meeting at the Platte Canyon Community Center in Shawnee Sept. 9, to oppose Human Movement Management’s proposal to build a not-for-profit recreational facility for underprivileged K-12 children on the McArthur Gulch state land trust property in the Shawnee area.
The 480-acre property on County Road 64 would be leased from the state land trust under a recreational lease and part of the funding for the facility would be raised through novelty 5K races held for the public on the same property.
The meeting attracted more than 50 residents, most opposed to the project.
