Colorado population growth lands family nearly $5 million for 90 shares of Big Thompson River

As the population of Colorado continues to grow, especially in the northern half of the state, the demand and price of water continue to grow. That was evident on Wednesday as one northern Colorado family sold their 90 shares of rights to the Big Thompson River for nearly $5 million at auction.

Disgusting. Farmers and ranchers have to BID against developers with deep billionaire pockets. Remember who sold out the state.
