The City of Loveland’s Water and Power Department has received approval to buy 9.1 acres of land north of the wastewater treatment plant on Boise Avenue.
The idea behind the approval is that the Water and Power Department wants to purchase the land to prevent residential development and resell it for other purchases. If used for residential housing, the city is worried there may be complaints from odor with proximity to the plant. Originally, the idea was to build a tiny-house community of affordable housing on the land.
