During the recent Huerfano County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) meeting held on July 15, 2025, several key decisions were made that will impact the local community. One of the most significant actions was the approval of a land transfer agreement between the county and the Wyatt Toya Canyon Cooperative Association. This agreement allows for the transfer of property known as Little Kansas, which is expected to enhance community management and stewardship of the area.

In addition to the land transfer, the commissioners approved a purchase order for Chaparral Construction to mobilize equipment for the demolition of an old concrete bridge on County Road 104. This project, costing approximately $3,740, aims to improve local infrastructure, ensuring safer travel for residents.

The meeting also included a discussion on a bulk water permit request from local residents, which was unanimously approved. This permit will allow the residents to access water for their property, supporting their needs during the months they reside in the area.

Public comments highlighted community appreciation for recent county efforts, particularly regarding the successful July 4 fireworks display. Stacy Corey, a local resident, expressed gratitude for the county's hard work in organizing the event, noting that it has become increasingly popular and well-managed over the years. Corey also shared updates about improvements at Lake State Park, including the installation of a new boat inspection station and a long-requested fish cleaning station.

As the meeting concluded, the commissioners acknowledged the importance of these initiatives in fostering community engagement and enhancing local services. The decisions made during this session reflect ongoing efforts to address the needs and concerns of Huerfano County residents, paving the way for continued development and community support.
