Town of Fraser Comprehensive Plan
While it is not the responsibility of FVMRD to carry out the goals and objectives identified by the Town of Fraser in its Comprehensive Plan, FVMRD can strategically align itself with Fraser’s planning efforts to provide the highest quality of service to its users. Below are the open space and recreation goals defined in the Town of Fraser Comprehensive Plan. These goals fall outside of FVMRD’s direct service provision, but should still be considered as potential areas of influence by the District. “Open Space/Recreation • Expand and enhance the multi-purpose open space network facilitating pedestrian and recreational opportunities while maintaining the environment and ecosystem. • Enhance the Cozens Ranch Open Space. • Protect unique and sensitive environmental resources.” 1
