Sugar Loaf Fire Protection District Land Exchange
I introduced the Sugar Loaf Fire Protection District Land Exchange Act to help protect the Sugar Loaf, Colorado, community from wildfire. The bill would ensure that the Boulder County fire district owns the land under two of its three fire stations by allowing the fire district to swap 5.17 acres of land in the Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest between the communities of Boulder and Nederland. The lands transferred to the federal government will become part of the Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest and managed accordingly, enabling the Fire District to maintain and upgrade its fire stations serving the Sugar Loaf community and nearby properties at risk of wildfire. The bill was signed into law by the President on Dec. 23, 2011.
If you have further questions about this or any other issue, please contact me with your concerns.
