The group hopes to achieve - foster and preserve a strong sense of community and build resiliency. The Falcon area is growing rapidly and anyone returning after an absence of only a few years would likely find it nearly unrecognizable. What was once a quiet, rural community is now faced with rapid growth and the associated challenges of urbanization. In light of this, community-minded volunteers h
ave formed a new 501(c)(3) non-profit civic organization called Friends of Falcon to promote the area, advocate for responsible development, and help preserve Falcon’s identity as a harmonious balance of rural and urban lifestyles that exemplifies southern Colorado living. Inspired by the work of the Friends of the Black Forest, the Friends of Falcon’s primary mission is to promote the Falcon area and to help preserve its character and identity. The group hopes to achieve three objectives: Foster and preserve a strong sense of community and build resiliency; ensure development is compatible with existing infrastructure and uses and with the Falcon area’s character; and attract businesses and services such as franchised stores, new restaurants, government services (e.g., full-time Department of Motor Vehicles, Official Post Office), and more.
