“Closed streets, construction cranes and empty buildings all currently feature at the Loretto Heights redevelopment site in Southwest Denver.
“They’re signs of development pushing forward at the sprawling 72-acre campus. The most recent move came in the form of the city’s $3.5 million purchase of the historic Loretto library and the acquisition of the May Stanton Bonfils Theatre.
…
“’Southwest Denver lacks public gathering areas,” said Councilmember Kevin Flynn. ‘Having the theater there puts out a welcome mat for people…really in all of Southwest Denver and frankly, in all of the metro area to come to Loretto Heights, to come to a show, to gather with the people who are living there. In other words, this opens up the campus in a way it never has been before.’”
Go here to read how the Loretto Heights campus is being developed to serve as the “gathering place for Denverites in the southwest region.”
