Lowry NOT Drilling for Oil

The Lowry Community Master Association has gotten a few calls with folks who are concerned about oil drilling in the Former Lowry Bombing and Gunnery Range.  On December 6th the Denver Business Journal reported that, "The Colorado State Land Board this week will ask six companies to submit proposals for drilling on 21,048 acres of the old Lowry Bombing Range east of Aurora."  To read more, click here.

The Former Lowry Bombing and Gunnery Range (FLBGR) is not located in, near or affiliated in any way with "our" Lowry.  The FLBGR is located 20 miles southeast of Denver, outside of Aurora and was established in 1942 by the Army as an airfield.  All branches of the military used the site for various military exercises before its closure in 1991.  Parts of teh FLBGR have been developed into residential neighborhoods, commercial centers, schools and parks and recreation centers.
