The town of Windsor and its Downtown Development Authority say misinformation about the future of Windsor Lake is spreading after a handbill that was disseminated at Saturday's Winter Wonderland festivities.
The flier, which was also posted on social media platforms, stated access to the lake beginning next summer would be limited to small gatherings because of nearby construction of 250 condominiums. The handbill said larger events, such as Harvest Festival, July Fourth, Labor Day and Memorial Day, typically held at the lake, would not be allowed.
Windsor officials categorically denied the information in a news release issued Saturday night and in interviews Monday.
The handbill, the town said, refers to a downtown Windsor development project that includes DDA and town-owned vacant land next to the railroad tracks, just south of Windsor Lake. Tribe Development Group was selected earlier this year as the preferred developer after Brinkman of Fort Collins pulled out.
The project, known as the Backlots development, involves three different parcels and is yet to be approved. Conceptual plans include up to 15,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space, with roughly 200 residential units.
