<p>Crested Butte, Colorado has a couple of programs in place. One
is additional real estate taxes. Another is an optional, opt-out,
1% for Open Space added to customers' bills at many businesses in
town. Restaurants, hotels, doctors, attorneys, an acupuncturist,
realtors, newspapers, and even an animal hospital participate. <br>
