High density housing units under construction

ELBERT COUNTY WE THE PEOPLE is an organized group of Elbert County Colorado residents focused on rural preservation and open space conservation.

A Commitment to Open Space Initiatives and Rural Preservation

As residents of Elbert County Colorado, we want action taken to create and protect open spaces and limits on high-density development to preserve rural communities, the hallmark of this county.

Elbert County We the People is a group of county residents that wish to have greater representation in the future growth and development, and the preservation of Elbert County Colorado.

Change is a constant and while we are not anti-development, we seek the responsible design of communities and infrastructure, and active participation in what benefits the county’s people, not just the builders. We the People of Elbert County Colorado are invested with our properties and lives in this community and are deeply involved in maintaining its culture and continued rural presence.

The resources and information offered here are to keep you up-to-date with county planning and how best to be stewards of our land and homesteads.
