Private Trustee Talks: Erie Residents Weigh In On Oil and Gas

ERIE, CO - Erie residents will have a chance to talk one-on-one with a member of the town's Board of Trustees about oil and gas development this week. The trustees released an oil and gas update for residents in September. This is a chance for the community to follow up and make its voice heard, according to a press release from the Town of Erie.

Residents can sign up for one-on-one time slots with a trustee during one of three windows in the next week:

• Session #1: Saturday, October 6th, 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. at Town Hall
• Session #2: Wednesday, October 10th, 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. at Town Hall
• Session #3: Thursday, October 11th, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. at Town Hall

Each resident can select a half-hour time slot during which they will have approximately ten minutes to talk with a trustee. Sign up ahead of time is required, and is available on Erie's website.

There are several controversial statewide oil and gas measures on the ballot this election season, and Boulder County has taken action against several extraction companies that seek to drill on county Open Space land, some of which border Erie.
