The town board of trustees took a step toward annexing the Willow Creek floodplain south of town Monday. The board adopted a land-use plan and agreed to a memorandum of understanding with the property's owners. The floodplain - a 1.5-mile stretch between Creede and the creek's confluence with the Rio Grande that greets visitors as they enter the town on Colorado 149 - has been left largely barren and incapable of naturally restoring itself after nearly a century of mining in the former boomtown.
