Castle Pines North: A New Website and a New Blog

The City of Castle Pines North announced it's new website to residents via email today. The site promoted a series of "planned financial forums" that will feature a review of the City’s 2008 budget, a presentation of the 2009 budget and an opportunity for citizens to ask questions.

Alternatively, a local citizen organization, CPN Homeowners for a Solid Foundation, launched it's blog yesterday. Citing proposed higher taxes and a reallocation of funds away from water projects, the blog urges taxpayers to "vote no" on City sponsored ballot initiatives.

Links to each site can be found below.
