Aspen's Parks and Open Space department has provided an update on its Strategic Plan to the Aspen Town Council. The plan, which covers the next 10 years, is intended to guide priorities and resource allocation. This update follows the extension of the half-cent open space sales tax, which was approved by voters in November 2022.

The department's plan is aimed at strengthening Aspen's outdoor spaces. Further details on the plan are available, including a draft of the Strategic Plan and a summary.

The update notes that the renewed community support for the open space sales tax creates an opportunity and responsibility for thoughtful management of public funding.
