Fort Collins -- Urban/Environmental Planning, 1971

The Papers of Marvin D. Hoover consists of documents dated 1957 to 1975, with the bulk falling from 1971 to 1975. The materials cover Hoover's involvement with municipal water-supply issues in Colorado Springs as well as his work on environmental and water-storage concerns in Fort Collins. Document types include correspondence, reports, notes, clippings, streamflow data, and maps. Much of the correspondence is related to the Joe Wright Reservoir--some sixty miles west of Fort Collins--and environmental debates surrounding this project.
