Milliken board approves 'agriburbia' plan, an article from The Greeley Tribune, reports that developers hope a proposed 618-acre slab of agriburbia will house a vineyard and possibly a winery.  This is only one of the ideas being considered by the Milliken Town Board when they unanimously approved a preliminary plan for Platte River Village.  The development would use nearly half of the acreage for agricultural and open space and could bring nearly 1,000 new units, including single-family homes and duplexes or townhomes.  The property is located at the southeast corner of Weld County Roads 19 and 42.  Some concerns include whether to have a ground-level or elevated water tank and whether Weld 21 would be paved in time to accommodate increasing traffic.  The developer plans to pave a section of Weld 21 after the building permit is approved.

'agriburbia' I've never seen that one before , but I like what it means. Too often rural agricultural land gets destroyed in the name of progress and replaced with typical suburbs.
