Despite the challenges of 2020, public and private investment in Colorado Springs remained strong.
Colorado Springs remains in the national spotlight as a vibrant city that offers a high quality of life, continuing to attract a skilled workforce.
City communications staff highlighted these key infrastructure projects and the recent addition of several major employers as factors in the cityâs continued progress in a Dec. 23 release:
Colorado Springs is making its mark as the City for Champions.
2020 proved to be an exciting year for southwest downtown and for sports in Colorado Springs.
In October, a 250-foot pedestrian bridge that will connect America the Beautiful Park with downtown Colorado Springs was hoisted into the air and placed on its abutments, signaling the final phase of work before the bridge opens to the public in spring 2021.
WINDSOR Future Legends Complex, the 118-acre sports complex under construction in Windsor, has tapped Chicago-based Levy Restaurants Inc. as its concessions, catering and restaurant provider.
Levy will provide food, beverage and hospitality services for the Future Legends complex, which is slated to open in spring 2022 at 801 Diamond Valley Drive, according to a statement Thursday night.
Future Legends is being developed by the Katofsky family ownership group and former Colorado Rockies outfielder Ryan Spilborghs. The complex will include sports, retail and entertainment components.
Future Legends recently announced that minor-league baseball team
the Utah Owlz will relocate to the under-construction complex from Orem, Utah, with the Northern Colorado Owlz tentatively scheduled to begin play on Memorial Day next year, or in 2022 if the minor league seasons are cancelled again by Major League Baseball.
