There are four separate areas that make up the East Aurora Annexation Study, which analyzed the costs of expanding the city by tens of thousands of acres and itself cost $531,000 to conduct. The most controversial area of the study is a potential 9,000-home development called “Prosper,” a 5,100-acre area located between Interstate 70 and Mississippi Avenue from Hayesmount to Imboden roads.
The other potential annexations studied for the EAAS include 3,000 acres of land owned by the CCSC group, the northernmost 3,800 acres of the former Lowry Bombing range property owned by the state land board, and a large area of land held by TCBO Holdings east of Imboden Road, which includes some other landowners.

Prosper is outside the city limits, but is getting approval from the county, so it can be built without the city's approval. The major concern is the cost - the best case scenario is that it will cost Aurora $143,000 per year.
