Developer Withdraws Plans For Controversial Development

FRANKTOWN, Colo. (CBS4)- After vocal opposition, the developer has decided to withdraw plans for development of Franktown Village, a controversial development in Franktown.

The planning commission voted against the project last month. The final say was up to the Douglas County Commissioners before the developer decided to change course.
