After almost a year and an unusual number of extensions granted by the County, Roberts has finally completed their 3rd Submittal of Roberts Resorts Village Camp Durango. You may recall Roberts’ first Village Camp Durango proposal was introduced in November 2022, and the second proposal submitted in February 2025. 

This new submittal is to be reviewed by the County’s outside representative, Senior Planner Tez Hawkins, as was done in previous submittals.  Hawkins has listed and addressed concerns from residents in his review to the County in the past, and we trust he will do the same again.  However, in an attempt to stay on top of the issue as it progresses, AVAC is asking our members to help us analyze the new submissions. Your feedback on the County portal is important and appreciated.

NOTE: Hermosa Sanitation has published a public notice in the Durango Herald announcing their plans for expansion (see attached PDF) – presumably driven by future projected demands, not the least of which is the proposed Roberts Village Camp Durango project. This will directly affect the rates for all of their customers. As an HSA customer, you will be paying for the impact of the Roberts VCD capacity. If you are a customer please consider writing a protest to that project (PL20250236) and/or reaching out to HSA directly to express your concern.

Your important feedback will help determine the best approach at halting the insertion of yet another small city into the Animas Valley. As always, your continued support and interest are appreciated!
