The Daily Camera has devoted a lot of ink to the debate on CU South over the last few months and rightfully so. What happens at this 308-acre site in the coming years will have a big impact on Boulder as well as the university.
You may have heard that the city is considering annexing the University of Colorado Boulder property called CU South this summer. The City Council is frequently asked why we’re undertaking this project, and what makes it time-sensitive? The answer is simple — the primary reason for the annexation is flood protection for Boulder residents.
For 145 years, the city and University of Colorado Boulder have been inextricably linked in a way that has elevated both to world renown. At the core of this relationship is a joint commitment to the shared values that make Boulder special.
Following the release of a draft annexation agreement, CU Boulder will host a virtual briefing at 4 p.m. on Thursday, July 15, inviting faculty, staff, students and community members to join the discussion and learn more.
The city of Boulder and CU Boulder today jointly released for public review a draft annexation agreement for CU Boulder South that is the culmination of years of collaboration between the city, county, university and community to achieve vital flood protection for thousands of downstream Boulder residents.
The Daily Camera has published several opinion pieces recently about the CU Boulder South project that contain misinformation, exaggerations and inaccuracies. Some members of the community are attempting to build a case against the annexation by making a case against the university itself, and I would like to set the record straight.
