What's Happening in Parker, CO…

The annexation of a parcel of land at Stroh and Parker Roads was recently approved by the Parker Town Council.

The land, known as Parker Pointe, is 14.7 acres in size and will be developed into a town center at the intersection. On the property, it is proposed to have mixed-use buildings that will have a hotel, day care, fast food, or potentially automobile service. There will be just over an acre of open space on the south end of the land to preserve an endangered species (the Preble’s’ Meadow jumping mouse) and the floodplain.

There had been some concerns from members of the community about other wildlife in the area, but the Parker Town Council said the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission would handle those issues.

The senior planner in the town, Paul Workman, said that construction on the land can begin by the end of the year.

As Parker is a town that derives much of its revenue from sales taxes, the downtown area has been at a disadvantage being located between two major malls. The plan to annex this piece of land was determined by the planning commission in response to growth in the town.

Mayor Mike Waid added that the town needs a business community that thrives, so the town can have all the other amenities it needs.

Banner printing companies can be used to inform members of the community about such new developments.
