Good morning, Castle Rock.

Colorado veterans and local leaders are raising $15 million to build Heroes Hall, a 14,000+ square-foot center to serve nearly 20,000 veterans with meeting spaces and mental health resources.

Douglas County approved a $400,000 design contract in January and unveiled a new sign off Plum Creek Parkway as Memorial Day nears.

At the May 20 Town Council meeting, officials approved financial agreements and tax increment revenue financing for the Brickyard development at 401 Prairie Hawk Drive—part of a plan to redevelop the 31-acre site—and held the first reading of annexation, zoning and development agreements for the 535-acre Pine Canyon site. The final reviews for these items will be scheduled for the June 3 meeting as the Town prepares to support future mixed-use development and improved local infrastructure.

A Douglas County district court judge denied a request to block a special election so voters can decide on adopting a home rule charter after a lawsuit alleged violations of open meeting laws—voters will cast ballots on June 24 and, if approved, finalize the charter in November with home rule taking effect on January 1.
