Fruita River Front Action Plan
Receiving the Governor’s Award for Outstanding Efforts in Smart Growth and Development, this project inventoried the opportunities and constraints of a threatened riverfront open space, prepared alternative concepts for various levels of development, and suggested methods and timetables for achieving a preferred alternative. This plan was the catalyst for the siting and construction of a state park, a follow-up corridor study and a rewrite of the City of Fruita Comprehensive Plan. To this day, this document is facilitating good planning and design in the South Fruita area.
