Are the Table Mountains threatened with Development?
North Table Mountain is not threatened with development. It is expected that by 2002-3 all the land will be open space. Jefferson County Open Space Department is working on a master plan for this area. South Table Mountain stays under continued threat of development with statements made by Mr. Leo Bradley who represents his family holdings and those of Coors Brewery.
North Table Mountain is not threatened with development as all the land that can be acquired for open space has been purchased. There is a Management Plan that can be accessed at Jefferson County Department of Open Space. South Table Mountain stays under continued threat of development of about 400 acres based on statements made by the private landowners. A Jefferson County Open Space plan is evolving (2008-2009) and updated information is available here.
