DDA Gets Second Chance on Mill Levy | Colorado Springs News

Old Colorado City’s Downtown Development Authority is getting a second chance to prove its value as the city council delays its shutdown decision. Facing funding concerns and stalled progress, the DDA plans to shrink its focus to Colorado Avenue and launch a renewed campaign to win voter approval for a mill levy—this time with a longer, more persuasive push. Local business owners are ready to accept dissolution if voters reject the levy, trusting the democratic process. The DDA board president remains hopeful, betting that a well-funded, community-focused campaign can secure the support needed to hire key staff and tackle big projects—without needing costly alternatives. With $20K to cover ballot costs, they’re going straight to the people before the council makes its final call. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
