New home for Colorado Mountain College?

By

Higher education takes on new meaning when it occurs in the - um - high country.  Colorado Mountain College has several campuses in the Colorado Mountains, two in Summit County.  These are located in Dillon and Breckenridge.  But, there has been a long-held desire to combine the campuses into one large campus, to make it modern and efficient, and to allow for future growth into the middle of this century.  So, it's no wonder that the board has been looking for land to make that a reality.  It has not been an easy search.  There is very little land to be had, and what is available generally is small acreage at best.  Finally, the Town of Frisco, which has been very interested in nabbing the campus has made an offer that is difficult to refuse.  It will leases for a dollar a year about 20 acres on the Frisco Peninsula and right on Highway 9, to CMC (provided Frisco voters approve the plan this fall).  Now they are just working on wording for the ballot.  I for one hope it wins.

Looks as if it's going to be just Breckenridge now for CMC's Summit County campus.
