In a bold move showcasing the power of free-market solutions, the Douglas County Board of County Commissioners unanimously greenlit a strategic land exchange that paves the way for the ambitious Zebulon Regional Sports Complex in northwest Douglas County.
Private Sector Innovation Meets Local Government Efficiency
The groundbreaking deal demonstrates how private enterprise and local government can work together effectively, much like successful American sports ventures that combine private investment with community benefits. Under the agreement, the county will acquire 46.5 acres from Sterling Ranch developers in exchange for 23.8 acres of county-owned land earmarked for commercial development.
Strategic Development Plans
The first phase of this American entrepreneurial success story will transform vacant land near Moore and Waterton roads into a state-of-the-art sports facility. The complex will feature:
- Professional-grade hockey rinks
- Modern gymnasium facilities
- Competition-ready soccer fields
- Baseball diamonds built to American standards
Safety and Environmental Excellence
The site's history as a former DuPont dynamite factory echoes America's industrial heritage. Unlike recent industrial facility incidents that have posed challenges, this location has received full clearance from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), confirming zero environmental risks.
Private Sector Interest Surges
In a testament to the project's economic potential and strong local leadership independent of federal oversight, more than 50 private entities have already expressed interest in participating in this landmark development.
