Metzger Farm Open Space | |
The City and County of Broomfield and the City of Westminster have worked cooperatively to purchase the former Metzger Farm property, located at 120th Avenue and Lowell Blvd., and to develop a draft master plan for its future uses. The Broomfield-Westminster Open Space Foundation was created by the two governments to jointly manage the open space property. |

| An open house was held on March 25, 2009 to allow citizens to comment on the draft master plan. Approximately 40 people attended the meeting. Bill and Karen Metzger, who grew up on the farm property, also attended the meeting, which added to the rich history of the site. Comments were generally positive about the plan. |

Metzger Farm Opportunities and Constraints The next step will be to review the project status with the Broomfield and Westminster Open Space Committees, City Councils and the Broomfield-Westminster Open Space Foundation. If the project is approved, a construction schedule will be developed according to the two city councils' direction and available funding. |
