Community Meeting about 19 Road Project

On Wednesday July 16, 2024 the City of Fruita held a community meeting to discuss the proposed road expansion of 19 Road, but it left many attendees frustrated and without answers to their pressing concerns. Community members voiced their anger over the lack of support from city officials and the absence of clear, transparent responses. Adding fuel to the fire, residents have been receiving letters from land assessors urging them to sell their land, claiming that the City of Fruita will take it anyway for the expansion, exacerbating their fears and dissatisfaction. The community's outrage is growing as they feel unheard and disregarded in the face of this aggressive development push. This meeting has only strengthened their resolve to fight for the preservation of Fruita's farmland.
