Officials in three jurisdictions - Jefferson County, Boulder County and the City of Boulder - are considering an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) that would greatly expand the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge, preserve regional open space, resolve transportation issues, and create economic development opportunities in northern Jefferson County.
Staffs from the three local governments have been negotiating since last fall, hammering out details for the draft IGA. The document was reviewed by the Jefferson County Commissioners in a Staff Briefing session April 19, with a final decision to be made by the Jeffco Board next Tuesday. The Boulder County Commissioners will discuss the agreement on April 26, and the Boulder City Council will consider it on May 3.
