According to the CU Boulder website, "Since purchasing the 308-acre CU Boulder South site in 1996, the university has kept the space open to the public for continued access — and it's important to note that public access to CU's property will continue after annexation."

CU Boulder said the agreement will allow for a lot more community benefits, like flood protection. Half of that acreage will be used by the city for flood protection.
