As part of Cloverleaf’s commitment to responsible development and being a good neighbor to the Leavenworth County community as outlined in the Cloverleaf Standard, our rezoning applications to Leavenworth County include setting aside approximately 330 acres of the original site plan for permanent conservation.
Cloverleaf intends to permanently protect this land from future development while safeguarding natural resources and creating a natural sound buffer around the site. We want it to be shaped by local leaders, community organizations, conservation partners, and residents that know the land and this community best.
Options on the table include:
- Managed agricultural uses, including grazing and other compatible farming activities
- Native prairie restoration and pollinator habitat enhancement
- Wildlife and natural habitat preservation
- Passive recreational spaces, such as walking trails, open space, or other community-oriented uses
- Environmental education and conservation programming
- Other low-impact conservation, agricultural, recreational, or community-serving uses consistent with the goals of the Planned Unit Development
“Leavenworth County has a rich history and a strong sense of place, and we believe growth and preservation go hand in hand,” said Aaron Bilyeu, Chief Development Officer for Cloverleaf. “This commitment protects land that is important to the community while creating new resources and jobs and for future generations.”
