Project Description:

The Town of Hot Sulphur Springs is experiencing growth pressure moving west from the east side of Grand County which has resulted in record building permits, land development inquiries, and influx of new residents changing the dynamics of the community. The town has retained CPS to provide on-call development services for the town in the capacity of their town planner. This includes regular conversations with the town clerk, water department staff, and attendance at Planning Commission and Board of Trustee meetings as needed. Because of our team’s extensive experience and knowledge of municipal management and services, the Town of Hot Sulphur Springs relies on CPS to provide many services ranging from infrastructure planning, mapping services, elected and appointed training, and code enforcement services. CPS is a valued member of the Hot Sulphur Springs team focused on the effective and efficient development of the community while retaining the character and values that make the town attractive to so many.

The greatest achievement in working with Hot Sulphur Springs so far has been the training program implemented over the 2020 calendar year. At the end of 2019, the town saw the need for a more in-depth understanding of land development processes, application review, and land use planning tools and strategies. CPS designed a training program to enhance the Town Board of Trustees and Planning and Zoning Commissioner’s knowledge and understanding of these concepts which began with a basic presentation on what planning is, why should the town plan, and what are the town’s current guiding documents. The sessions progressed to take a deep-dive into comprehensive planning and community engagement tactics. The program was such a success, the Board approved additional training through 2021! We are excited to continue to build capacity within the town ranks over the coming years!
