The town’s voters are deciding on the recall of two officials and whether to give themselves the last say on annexations.

A special election wrapping up today in the tiny town of Palmer Lake has the potential to shape the development of Northern El Paso County well into the future.
The election has its roots in a proposed plan to build a massive Buc-ee’s travel plaza just east of the town. Voters will decide whether or not to keep the path forward clear for the town to approve a flagpole annexation of the Buc-ee’s parcel, or change direction, by removing two trustees who’ve shown support for the project.
