New Colorado Springs annexation is approved, but water and other concerns remain

Many city residents and farmers from other counties spoke out against the proposal during the public hearing and comment periods.

The boundaries of Colorado Springs are set to grow again, now that the 1,900-acre Karman Line Annexation southeast of the city near Schreiver Space Force Base has gained final approval from city council.

The so-called flagpole annexation connects most of the additional acreage to the city via a long thin strip of land along Bradley Road. The proposed development could eventually lead to the construction of about 6,500 new homes as well as commercial and other mixed uses.
