Buc-ee’s Drops Palmer Lake Annexation Bid After Yearlong Fight

The withdrawal caps a year of intense local opposition to the Palmer Lake plan.

Overview

  • Monument Ridge West LLC pulled its annexation request for the I-25 and County Line Road site, halting the Palmer Lake proposal.
  • The town said the previously planned special annexation election will no longer proceed.
  • A Buc-ee’s consultant said the company is pursuing other regional options, though no new site has been identified.
  • Palmer Lake’s clerk noted the town currently has no legal counsel following the board’s Jan. 22 termination of its attorney, limiting further comment.
  • The proposal drew sustained pushback over water, traffic and environmental impacts, even as a study projected about $955,087 in additional 2027 sales tax revenue.
