Community activism The Eagle community has an involved community, especially when big issues come up for review. In just three years, there were three referendums. In January 2010, voters defeated a 582,000-square-foot (54,100 m²) lifestyle centre project called Eagle River Station. In January 2012, voters approved allowing the medical marijuana dispensary to stay in business. (The board of trustees originally allowed the business to open but then the new board of trustees decided to withdraw that permit. The owners of the marijuana dispensary then took it to the vote of the people and the business was allowed to stay open.) In May 2012, voters approved the second vote on the now 732,000-square-foot (68,000 m²) lifestyle centre project still called Eagle River Station.
