The DDA has a number of items on its early 1994 agenda including the revised vending ordinance, executing the development agreement on the Linden Hotel, marketing the Larimer County Enterprise Zone, and re-establishing a relationship with the Poudre River Trust (in anticipation of working toward one of the Authority's long range goals). However, none of these items require immediate Board action and after consulting with the Chair, the decision was made to cancel the January meeting. Please call if you have any questions. Thanks.
