~ The City of Colorado Springs and Colorado Springs Utilities are set to unveil their draft annexation guidelines, AnnexCOS, at an open house meeting on January 13th. The public is invited to attend the meeting, which will take place from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the City Administration Building in Room 102. The purpose of the meeting is to provide an overview of the draft goals, policies, and annexation suitability zones and gather feedback from attendees.
