We are very pleased with the Boulder County Commissioners' decision today to approve our application for the construction of 12 tennis courts and a parking lot on the 308 acre South Campus property. The Commissioners agreed that the university's application was in conformance with the county's land use regulations and met all other applicable requirements of the law.
We are committed to being good stewards of the South Campus property, a state asset that will benefit generations of students. Construction of the tennis courts will begin as soon as design work is complete.
"We are, of course, very happy that the Boulder County Commissioners understand the value of the university and its role in the community. We appreciate the commissioners' attention to this matter," said Paul Tabolt, vice chancellor for administration at the University of Colorado at Boulder. "We look forward to working with the city, county and community to develop uses of the property including appropriate flood mitigation and future development needs of the university."
