				Conservation District retained Pedersen Planning Consultants to 
				prepare a socio-economic assessment that will ultimately 
				represent a portion of an overall watershed management plan for 
				the District.  The assessment examined various social and 
				economic indicators for the communities of Baggs and Dixon, as 
				well as surrounding unincorporated areas within the LSRCD.  
				Economic activities occurring in agriculture, oil and gas, 
				tourism, and retail trade were also evaluated to enable the 
				forecast of anticipated employment and business expansion trends 
				within the primary economic sectors of the LSRCD |  |  |
