2007 Election Brings Changes to CPN, Douglas County
by Lisa Crockett
It wasn’t a long ballot, but the few short items in this year’s election generated intense interest in Castle Pines North and surrounding Douglas County. Incorporation passed by a wide margin, with more than seventy-eight percent of voters casting a “yes” ballot on the incorporation question. The other three measures regarding funding for the new city also passed. For complete results information, see www.douglas.co.us
