Colorado Mountain College Moving Ahead

Colorado Mountain College is well on its way to a new Breckenridge site.

The Breckenridge Town Council passed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at this week’s meeting, CMC’s floor plan designs are expected to be completed by the end of this month, and a groundbreaking is planned for this summer for the facility that will be on a 20-acre parcel on Block 11 near the town’s north entrance.

It is a “very aggressive timeline,” said Leah Bornstein, Ph.D., CMC’s dean.

“We’re still on track at this point,” she continued and said that they are hoping to move into the new school in the fall of 2008.

According to the MOU, the college will purchase 20 acres from the town for $1 and it will have 20 years to develop the land. After that, any portion of the property not required to implement its plan will be given back to the town at no cost.
