The Bureau of Land Management will hold a competitive lease sale for a parcel of land consisting of nearly 800 acres in the Mount Princeton hot springs area. This area is identified to hold an underground reservoir capable of producing geothermal energy.

 A website has been established by private citizens to help inform the public about the lease, laws involved in the lease and potential projects that may or may not benefit the canyon and Chaffee County residents.
