Montrose Urban Renewal Authority
The Montrose Urban Renewal Authority (MURA) was formed in late 2016 by a resolution of the Montrose City Council. MURA encompasses approximately 160 acres along the Uncompahgre River northwest of downtown Montrose.
MURA and Colorado Outdoors work in tandem to create public infrastructure, public open space, and zoning required to accommodate the project's mixed-use intent which includes commercial, hospitality, and residential sites. An estimated $83 million is proposed for site work, infrastructure improvements, river restoration, and open space enhancements.
Leadership
Board members and the organizations they represent are:
- Bill Bell, Executive Director
- Tad Rowan, Chairman - Montrose Fire Protection District
- Brad Hughes - Montrose County
- Gayle Johnson - Montrose County School District
- Mark Plantz - Special Districts Representative
- Montrose City Council
Development Plans
The master plan for Colorado Outdoors, the development that lies within the MURA's boundaries, includes approximately 670,000 square feet of development; the northern section is comprised of hotel and restaurant sites, with retail spanning Grand Avenue along the east end. Modern, quality housing units round out the southern end, with abundant open space and trail access adjoining the properties.
