Pueblo West land given to Black Hills
For the citizens of Pueblo West the County Commissioner s meeting of December 8, 2020 should be a day of infamy.
Commissioner (Chris) Wiseman and Commissioner (Garrison) Ortiz voted to give land deeded to the citizens of Pueblo West to Black Hills Energy for FREE.
The Wild Horse Creek area was deeded to the citizens of Pueblo West in 1977 by the McCulloch Corporation.
Commissioners Wiseman and Ortiz gave our land to Black Hills Energy without our vote or any kind of payment.
The Pueblo West Metro Board also stood idly by and let them do it. It s just amazing how a large corporation has more power over our elected representatives than the citizens who elect them.

Opponents of Black Hills Energy’s proposed transmission line through Pueblo West on Friday filed a civil lawsuit against the Pueblo County Commission asking a district court judge to overturn the county’s approval of the project.
The commission unanimously approved the Southern Colorado Reliability Project 115 kilovolt transmission line Dec. 8 following public comment and a special use permit review process in September.
During that September review, the commission required several conditions from Black Hills, including requesting the company bury any power lines within a half mile of a residence and asking the company to pay for an independent determination of the financial impact on property owners, including paying costs of legal representation for property owners.
