From the supplier: The City of Montrose, County of Montrose and RE-1J School District have arrived at a cooperative agreement to finance the construction of school facilities in Montrose, CO. The failure of the city to get school bond approval from voters since 1973, has resulted in the deterioration of school facilities, prompting moves to create a cooperative solution. The City and the County of Montrose agreed to appropriate 1% of sales and use tax to the project while the RE-1J School District pledged a $4 million bond issue. The electorate approved the plan on Feb 5, 1991.

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Cheyenne Mountain -Cheyenne Mountain in winter viewed from just outside of Fort CarsonThe Cheyenne Mountain complex traces its origins to 1956, when General Earle E. Partridge, commander of the Continental Air Defense Command, proposed construction of a new underground combat operations center to replace the outgrown and vulnerable above-ground facility at Ent Air Force Base, Colorado. The launch of Sputnik I, the world's first artificial satellite, on October 4, 1957, demonstrated not only the accomplishments of the Soviet Union's space program, but also the capability to launch nuclear warheads from one continent to another. In response, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) was established on May 12, 1958. The Department of Defense started researching potential sites, and determined that Cheyenne Mountain was an ideal site, due to its location in the center of the continent, lack of earthquake activity, and proximity to the United States Air Force Academy and Fort Carson, Colorado. Excavation for the facility began three years later in May 1961, and was completed in May 1964. The NORAD Combat Operations Center became operational on February 6, 1966, and operations were transferred from Ent Air Force Base on April 20, 1966. The original requirement for an operations center in Cheyenne Mountain was to provide command and control in support of the air defense mission against the Soviet bomber threat, but several events and emerging technologies drove this mission to evolve beyond those initial needs. The development of the intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in the 1960s presented a n...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=230370 ... Read more
