Friends of Falcon

NEWS! Friends of Falcon has begun reaching out to several companies asking them to consider bringing small businesses to the area where nothing similar exists today. The initial outreach went to different headquarters seeking small business establishment. Letters went to Landry’s restaurant group asking them to consider establishing mid to upper scale, sit-down restaurant; to three hotel chains asking them to consider opening a small to medium sized hotel; and to Dairy Queen and Baskin-Robbins parent companies asking them to consider opening an ice-cream store in the area. Separately, area residents should know about a housing needs survey being conducted by Colorado Springs (https://coloradosprings.gov/HousingNeedsAssessment) that includes unincorporated El Paso County ares including Falcon. One question is particularly important to Falcon because it goes to the heart of the rural-urban mix that is so much a part of the area’s character. It asks whether it is more important to create more affordable housing (even if that means changing densities) or instead more important to preserving the character of existing neighborhoods. The latter choice is a core principle for Friends of Falcon, and we hope everyone will take the survey and make that choice. Finally, Friends of Falcon is working to set up an in-person meeting for sometime in May. Details are not yet confirmed, but will be posted once set.
