Colorado Senator Michael Bennet said Monday morning he is opposed to placing a Buc-ee’s Travel Center at I-25 and County Line Road near Palmer Lake. Bennet cited the longtime Greenland Ranch Property, and how it’s been used for decades to raise cattle, and how it’s been protected from retail development. Bennet said if the travel center would be built it would scar the land, drain precious water resources, and affect a treasured resource with noise and light pollution. Last week the Palmer Lake Planning Commission tabled a vote on the issue until early September. If they approve it the final vote would be taken by the Board of Trustees.
