The U.S. Forest Service plans to replace the Carbondale Aspen-Sopris ranger district station with a newer, larger facility.<\/p>\n

The existing building at 620 Main St. \u201cis not functionally efficient and does not fully accommodate district staff and operations,\u201d the Forest Service said in a press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is no longer cost-effective to continue to maintain the 1939 office building initially constructed as the district ranger\u2019s residence,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

Demolition is scheduled for March 2021, followed by about a year of construction.<\/p>\n

The new structure should be more energy efficient, more accessible, and be large enough to host public meetings and events.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe proposed building and site design is intended to better meld with existing buildings and structures in the downtown Carbondale area, and would retain local charm and appeal,\u201d the release reads.<\/p>\n

The current ranger station will host an open house from 5-7 p.m. Feb. 7 for the public to view designs for the new building and learn about the details of the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Forest Service will be working closely with the town of Carbondale, local businesses and residents to ensure that the project causes the least amount of disruption as possible. However, sidewalks along Main Street and Weant may be closed during parts of construction,\u201d the Forest Service reported in a statement.<\/p>\n

The Forest Service is paying for the project with revenues from the recent sale of several administrative sites in Aspen. Those sales also funded the renovation of the White River National Forest supervisor\u2019s office in Glenwood Springs.<\/p>\n
