Forum to Address Oil and Gas Agreement
Forum to Address Oil and Gas Agreement
The City of Longmont is hosting a public question and answer forum on Tuesday, May 15 from 7 to 9 pm in the Longmont Civic Center City Council Chambers to answer questions about an agreement that Longmont has negotiated with two oil and gas companies that will essentially eliminate oil and gas drilling within Longmont City limits in return for a cash payment of $3 million and a lease of 516 acres of City owned mineral rights.
The Longmont City Council gave preliminary approval to the plan at last week’s council meeting. A final vote and public hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, May 22. Before that vote occurs, the City Council wants to give the public an opportunity to learn more about the agreement and to ask questions of city staff. See news release.
