Master Plan

What is The Ranch Master Plan?

A Long-Term Vision Rooted in Community, Designed for the Future

In 2017, The Ranch Events Complex created a comprehensive Master Plan to guide the future growth and development of the 315-acre campus. The purpose of the plan is to ensure The Ranch continues to serve the community, attract regional events, and remain a competitive destination for decades to come.

To support its implementation, in 2017, Larimer County voters approved an extension of the 0.15% dedicated sales and use tax through 2039.

The Master Plan is currently being delivered in two phases:

Phase I: Community-Focused Foundation

Completed from 2019 through 2024, Phase I focused on meeting direct public priorities. This included building youth and livestock spaces, improving accessibility and infrastructure, and expanding access for nonprofits and community programs.

Phase II: Commercially-Focused Growth

Phase II is currently underway and focuses on financially self-sustaining improvements that reduce reliance on public funding. Key projects include a new convention center and hotel accommodations to support events, a Great Lawn and amphitheater, arena enhancements, and a youth sports complex within a refurbished event space. These investments align with the long-term goal of sunsetting the 0.15% tax by 2039.
