A string of successful measures to fund open space in the West

  • A successful open space measure in Arapahoe County, Colorado, described by a Wall Street Journal article regarding the bi-partisan success of open space measures: “one of the largest measures in the country was adopted in Republican-leaning Arapahoe County, Colo., where 54% of voters agreed to the first-ever local sales tax in order to raise $170 million for land acquisition and protection over the next decade.” (November 2003)
     
  • The Trails, Open Space and Parks (TOPS) measure in conservative and anti-tax Colorado Springs, Colorado, passed by more than a two-to-one margin, and within margin of error of our final polling. (April 2003)
     
  • We have also polled for a number of successful in-fill development measures and urban revitalization plans.
