The cost to clean up the 80 homeless encampments within Glenwood Springs would cost $200,000.
That’s according to Glenwood Springs Parks and Recreation Director Brian Smith, who discussed ways to address a number of problems related to homelessness in and surrounding Glenwood Springs during the April 7 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting.
“That’s just in Glenwood Springs; then you have all the properties adjacent to that. Every time we clean up, they move, then a couple months later they move back in. It’s a moving target that constantly needs to be addressed,” Smith said of the clean-up costs.
