Owners

The Agreement
Complete story and video clips

Loveland City Manager, Don Williams, presented Council an
annexation agreement provided to the City of Loveland by the
land owner of parcels near I-25 and 402.  The Agreement
states, "The City agrees for a period of twenty-five (25) years
.....that the City will grant to the Owners.....a one percent sales
and use tax..."

- 1% for 20 Years Is Greatest Incentive
Offered - see agreement below

On January 7, the night before Loveland City Council
discussed a pre-annexation agreement of property along I-25,  
Johnstown approved an ordinance to annex property along the
402 just across from the 97 acres recently purchased by the
City of Loveland.  
See Greeley Tribune story.

Both cities are now claiming to control 402 which means the
dispute will likely go to court.
In the meantime, LovelandPolitics has obtained the Mountain
View Annexation agreement that Johnstown Town Council
approved on first reading January 7, 2008.  It differs from what
Loveland City Manager has told Council such agreements will
require to be approved by property owners in the area..
