River Center Gets Approval From Town of Basalt!

Conceputal River Center design illustrated by Charles ManusOn June 22, the Basalt Town Council gave a unanimous approval of the conceptual design for Roaring Fork Conservancy's River Center. The 8,400 square foot facility will be a showcase for river and water education on the Western Slope of Colorado and according to executive director Rick Lofaro, "There is nothing like the River Center anywhere else in Colorado. This will be a unique and innovative place for people to learn about protecting their water." The June 22 meeting capped about 15 months of working with town staff, Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council on the proposal. "This is an exciting accomplishment for the organization," noted RFC Board Vice President Stephen Ellspermann. "Everyone should be very pleased with the outcome of the meeting and moving forward on this great project." For more on the River Center visit www.roaringfork.org/rivercenter
