Grand Valley water rights, the largest and oldest on the river, allow people, communities, agriculture, industry and prosperity in Western Colorado
It’s not every day that a photo of the Grand Valley Canal makes the New York Times. Many Grand Junction residents may have missed this momentous occasion, right after New Year’s. But there it was, right in the middle of a multi-page article, about Arizona water and the involvement
of private investors from New York. The picture was incorrectly labeled as the “Grand Valley Ditch,” though the difference between a ditch and a canal may be lost on editors surrounded by the Hudson and East Rivers, Long Island Sound, and the Atlantic Ocean.
As Greg Larson begins a new position with the Bureau of Land Management, representing Eagle County, the work he performed in his former position is being challenged in federal court.
In an effort to “align the BLM Colorado’s fire units to improve public and wildland firefighter safety, as well as create more efficient, logical geographic, and geopolitical boundaries,” the Bureau of Land Management realigned its district boundaries in Colorado in the fall of 2020, creating a new Upper Colorado River District, which encompasses all of Eagle County.
Larson was named the district manager for the new Upper Colorado River District, and begins the position on Monday. Larson will be stationed in Grand Junction.
