Great news again, Fort Collins! According to the Coloradoan, CSU's Board of Governors formally approved the sale of the Hughes parcel to the City of Fort Collins for $12.5 million. That puts us one step closer to conserving Hughes Open Space in perpetuity!

Please read our letter to City Council, which PATHS submitted for the November 23, 2021 Council work session, regarding the acquisition funding for Hughes. We also discuss future land uses that will benefit all members of the community, within the parameters and provisions of the successful citizens’ ballot measure.

We have excellent news regarding the City's lawsuit against half of the citizens ballot measure to conserve Hughes as open space!

We received the court ruling yesterday, and the Judge voted in favor of PATHS, ruling that we ARE legally allowed to direct the City to both ZONE AND ACQUIRE the Hughes stadium property if the ballot measure passes!! Recall that the City was attempting to strike from the ballot measure the entire section about the City having to acquire Hughes if the ballot measure passes. The City's claim that acquiring Hughes should NOT be on the ballot because the citizens do NOT have the legislative right to tell the City what to acquire FELL FLAT, and the Judge ruled with the citizens of Fort Collins.
