Fiscal Awareness for Homeowners

In late 2021 Roxborough Park Foundation received notice of intent to purchase The Homestead by a Canadian developer Pomeroy Lodging, a 35 acre parcel of fountainheads adjacent to the public Arrowhead Gold course and within what most think of as Foundation property, but a privately owned parcel since the community was built. The Homestead has never been a member of Roxborough Park Foundation and had been on the market for private sale for many years with a previous sale falling through some years earlier. 

A large showing of residents responded to a meeting with the developers and loudly voiced their opposition. The developers acknowledged they had a big job ahead of them to convert the residential parcel to commercial, but they were charging forward. Part of the process was to have a Metro District created to get public services to the property. Pomeroy finalized the purchase of The Homestead in early 2024 and the Douglas County Commissioners approved the Arrowhead Colorado Metropolitan District in August 2024. 

Rain Dance Trail resident Mark Hall mailed a letter to neighbors discussing his confusion over the proposed project dated October 2025. A slew of neighbors responded to Mark sharing support for his viewpoints and concerns for our neighborhood. Mark had reached out to the interested parties, the RPF BOD members, Pomeroy, and ARCIS, owners of  public Arrowhead Golf club in our community.

Save Our Rox (SOR) was another grassroots organization started by the now Foundation Board president Kathleen Jackson and other neighbors in late 2021 to express opposition to the Nordic Spa being built within our community. The two leaders of SOR approached Mark Hall via email to request a meeting with Pomeroy to share their research on conservation easements. The meeting was successfully held November 19, 2025 with a good exchange of information between SOR and Pomeroy suggesting that Pomeroy would commit to putting 17 of the 35 acre parcel into a conservation easement should the Nordic Spa be built.

Crazy as it may sound, the Foundation was advised by it's legal counsel to subpoena it's own residents who they believe may have had conversations with Pomeroy. Costly subpoenas were issued around the Holidays 2025-26 to some homeowners, but strangely enough NOT to ARCIS, the Foundation member who has had LOTS of meetings with Pomeroy.

A couple dozen households got together in January 2026 to talk about the fiscal concerns surrounding the development and the protracted nature of the "fight" by the RPF BOD. They composed a joint letter asking the BOD to answer questions about the continuing battles and the effects on the community. The requestors asked to have the responses published to the entire community so everyone could understand what was happening, rather than rely on gossip and speculation. A letter written by the Foundation's legal counsel was sent 3 weeks later saying the Board had no intention of answering the questions. Then in a very strange turn of events, the BOD issued answers to many of the questions in the residents' letter in an Echoes Express. See all below.
