A recent meeting of the Basalt Planning Commission has raised questions about the proposed development at the old Movieland site. Concerns were expressed by commission members and the public regarding the project's compatibility with the community. Despite these concerns, the commission did not reject the proposal.
Further discussion is scheduled to take place in a month, allowing the developer to revisit their plans. The decision to delay a ruling has sparked confusion, given the strong reservations voiced by those involved.
More information about the meeting and the proposed development can be found through the Aspen Times.
