📰 News we're reading

• St. Vrain giving up right to build a big dam (coloradosun.com) — Lyons residents can expect South St. Vrain Creek to remain free-flowing after the St. Vrain and Left Hand Water Conservancy District agreed to give up its long-held right to build the massive Coffintop Dam upstream. The deal, praised by Lyons’ mayor and environmental advocates, shifts future water storage toward alternatives like gravel pits while keeping options open for public input on any new proposals.
