What is the status of my contribution? And Answers ...
1. What is the status of my contribution? If your total contribution was made in 2007, was less than $500, or more than $500 and unrestricted, it was tax deductible in 2007 and you should have received a tax acknowledgment letter from us at the time of your donation. If your total 2007 contribution was $500 or more you had the option of making it restricted allowing VFPP to return the funds to you in case the Valley Floor acquisition was not finalized. If your contribution was restricted the actual date of your tax-deductible donation will be June 20, 2008, the date of acquisition. You will receive a tax acknowledgement letter by the end of the year from VFPP. --|| back to top list of questions 2. What is the status of the acquisition? On June 2, 2008 the Colorado Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Town of Telluride’s ability to acquire the Valley Floor through eminent domain. On June 20, 2008 the Town of Telluride was granted title and full ownership of the Valley Floor and the acquisition funds were transferred to SMVC. There is no further ability to challenge the condemnation by the landowner. --|| back to top list of questions 3. When will a Conservation Easement be placed on the land? In June 2008, Ecological Resource Consultants began conducting an environmental analysis of the property. The final report is expected in late 2008 and will guide the final version of the Conservation Easement. The Easement will be held by San Miguel Conservation Foundation, a local foundation, which holds easements throughout the region including Bear Creek Preserve. The Environmental Report will also guide a Management Plan, which following the conservation values dictated by the easement will be the specific guidelines for the preservation of sensitive areas, restoration plans, and allowable low impact recreational activities. --|| back to top list of questions 4. What are the plans for donor recognition on the Valley Floor? Valley Floor Preservation Partners and the Town of Telluride will begin to address the location and the presentation of a suitable recognition of over 1700 donors to the Valley Floor preservation campaign. --|| back to top list of questions 5.
