Project Description > In 2003, voters approved a countywide .25 percent sales tax to pay for the preservation of open space in Arapahoe County. The tax is used to preserve urban and rural open space and natural areas; protect lands that preserve water quality in rivers, lakes and streams; provide, maintain and improve neighborhood parks, open space, sports fields, picnic facilities and multi-use trails; protect wildlife habitat and corridors; preserve agriculture and ranch lands and enhance and maintain designated heritage areas. Greenways Incorporated is leading an effort to develop an official Open Space Plan to guide the program through implementation of its priorities. Sign up to receive Master Plan updates by email.
Final Plan Adopted > At its June 29, 2010 meeting the Arapahoe County Board of County Commission adopted the Final Open Space Master Plan Report. To download the Adopted Final Open Space Master Plan Report, please click on the white letter link below.
