Opinion: Perhaps we can learn from past mistakes

John Hazlehurst During much of Colorado Springsâ history, times of prosperity and growth have often brought sudden and unwelcome change. From the late â60s to the early â80s, new buildings replaced old throughout central Downtown. We built the Pikes Peak Center, the Holly Sugar building, the sleek new Antlers hotel and a couple of medium-rise office buildings, all in the name of urban renewal. We ripped down half a dozen irreplaceable historic buildings and scores of lesser Victorian structures, many in perfectly good shape. Reminders of our folly still disfigure Downtownâs heart, where parking lots are the unmarked graves of the Chief Theater, the Burns Building and many others.

City for Champions rakes in $23 6 million

Weidner Field opened earlier this year in lower Downtown Colorado Springs, part of City for Champions. United Soccer League/Sandy Evans Money from the state to fund the City for Champions tourism ventures dropped by 13 percent in 2020, compared to 2019, or about $650,000. But the city is still on track to collect $120.5 million in sales tax rebates to help pay for the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum and Hall of Fame, Weidner Field, the Bill Hybl Sports Medicine and Performance Center at UCCS, Robson Arena at Colorado College and the Air Force Academy Visitors Center. So says Jariah Walker, executive director of the Colorado Springs Urban Renewal Authority, which oversees the City for Champions program and its financing.

Pitches to city for Rescue Plan funds begin

Numerous local agencies and citizens have made pitches for money coming to Colorado Springs and El Paso County from the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act, designed to help cities, counties and states recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. According to information obtained via a records request, one citizen called for the city to set aside money to offset rises in utility bills. Another suggested expanding broadband access. The National Museum of World War II Aviation, which âtook a huge hitâ from the COVID lockdown, needs a boost. And a newly formed consortium of nonprofits submitted a four-page outline of how to pump $40 million into various community needs.
