A 20-acre parcel at the northern outskirts of Breckenridge could be a backup location for a new Colorado Mountain College campus, under the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) approved by the Breckenridge Town Council recently.
According to the document, Breckenridge will be first in line to buy the existing CMC facility in town for $2.25 million - once the college finalizes plans to build a new consolidated facility elsewhere in Summit County, foreseeably at a preferred location somewhere near Frisco.
"The Dam Road location is still our first choice," said CMC Dean Leah Bornstein, referring to current plans to pursue a land trade with the U.S. Forest Service for a parcel of land between the Dam Road and Interstate 70.
CMC has also eyed land near the County Commons for its consolidated campus.
But the 20-acre Breckenridge parcel on the so-called Block 11 property, north of the rec center along Highway 9, would also be a fine location for a new campus, Bornstein said.
"The MOU is the culmination of efforts and discussions with CMC that have been in progress for a year," said town of Breckenridge spokesperson Kim DiLallo.
"We are very interested in turning (the CMC campus in Breckenridge) into Town Hall," she said.
