ASPEN, Colo. — Voters in the Colorado ski community of Aspen have narrowly approved a redevelopment plan that will increase the size of the resort’s base area. The Aspen Times reported Tuesday that the Lift One plan was approved by a 26-vote margin of 1,555 to 1,529. Proponents say the original Aspen Mountain base area will be revitalized with additions and renovations including a more accessible ski lift. Opponents express concerns about increased traffic, a lack of affordable housing construction and the city’s $4.36 million contribution to the project. ——Information from: The Aspen Times, http://www.aspentimes.com/
