Colorado Water
Mayor Hickenlooper named George Beardsley to the Denver Water Board Thursday. Mr. Beardsley is the Mayor's first Water Board appointment, according to the Denver Post [January 30, 2004, "Developer tapped for Water Board"]. From the article, "Beardsley develops and manages commercial real estate, but also has been a water manager, a Summit County rancher and a leading conservationist. He is the first of two picks the mayor will make for the board, which oversees water distributed to roughly a quarter of the state's population and about half the residents of the Front Range. Because it controls so much of Colorado's most crucial natural resource, Denver Water has long been viewed as one of the state's key political players. Beardsley has chaired the Colorado Conservation Trust since its inception and is a past member of the Great Outdoors Colorado board, the state program that acquires land for open space, parks and wildlife habitat."
