The DAAC In Action
Determining plausible redevelopment scenarios.
Second Step – Our Town Survey
Running concurrently with the DAAC meeting schedule, the Town has contracted with ETC Institute to conduct a scientific survey which will be mailed to every household in Basalt. The survey asks about specific types of uses the community would like to see on the Pan and Fork, Clark’s Market, and Lions Park properties (See PDF Map). Results of this scientific survey will be used to augment and support the decisions of the DAAC as it reports back to the Town Council.
