To be considered, the site must be within El Paso County, Colorado and have unencumbered water rights with infrastructure currently in place for immediate access and availability. VA anticipates an initial water demand of 120 acre feet per year, with a future increase of up to 350 acre feet per year. A portion of the water supply could be recycled/reclaimed water. Additionally, travel time via major highways and proximity to a major airport will be a primary consideration. Note that VA reserves the right to amend the delineated area and/or site requirements as needed. EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST SHOULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION, AS KNOWN OR AVAILABLE.
