A Little Bit of Hell Froze Over

After five years of attempting to negotiate the ability to develop his land in western Superior - and being rebuffed- Richard Verhey has sold his 155 acres to the Town and Boulder County as Open Space. It is remarkable because Verhey had most recently declared he would use the agricultural zoning of his property (which was the basis of the denials for developing a neighborhood) for a huge pig farm. His spiteful threat was borne out of frustration with neighbors in Rock Creek candidly saying they didn't want to lose their nice views to the west.

Verhey has said recent health issues in his family have led to a change of heart. Read more in the Superior Observer.
