Windsor’s Open Space and Trails team is responsible for the acquisition, stewardship, and maintenance of trails and open spaces. Thank you, Windsor voters! In November 2022, Windsor voters approved a 0.25% open space sales tax increase. This page serves to provide transparency regarding funds collected and used.
The tax created a dedicated funding source for open space land acquisition, stewardship, operation and maintenance to:
- Lessen the impact of residential housing growth, thereby reducing community impacts such as traffic, the cost of maintaining roads, sewer, stormwater and acquiring and treating water.
- Enable the town to develop and maintain open space.
- Obtain, manage, and preserve working farms and community separators that will keep Windsor unique.
- Promote and perpetuate open space that conserves valuable wildlife habitats, protects the environment and creates green spaces and waterfront access to lakes, streams, and the Cache la Poudre River.
