The 20-acre Frontiere housing compound at the edge of Rogers Lake is set to be used as a venue for weddings and other special events like retreats and meetings.
The Coconino County Board of Supervisors gave the go-ahead last week for county staff to pursue contract negotiations with an entity called The Grounds at Frontiere to operate an events business on the county-owned property from April through October.
The housing compound borders Rogers Lake Natural Area and its buildings include a six-bedroom residence above a 16-stall equestrian stable, a three-bedroom caretaker quarters with a five-car garage and a 6,000 square-foot unfinished foundation. It was donated to the county in 2011 by the estate of the late St. Louis Rams owner Georgia Frontiere, who died in 2008.
