This informational meeting is part of an ongoing effort to ensure that open communication, transparency and local community insight continue to be an important part of the plans for the long-term future of the property.

Following more than two years of study by DPS and Historic Denver, the revitalization and redevelopment concept for the property provides for the preservation of key historic buildings. The site is bounded by 12th St., 13thSt., Welton, and Glenarm.
