ROCC 2016 ACCOMPLISHMENTS & INIATIVES

2. A very active participant in the Keep OURay Alpine Wild. Keep OURay Alpine Wild was an extensive campaign of letter writing and public comments at hearings that resulted in the Board of County Commissioners voting unanimously to strongly regulate development in the alpine zone. This campaign was a huge success and a testimony to the power of the kind of grassroots civic engagement that ROCC has promoted for the past 23 years in our community.
