Body
Summary:
The City of Colorado Springs (City) and the Colorado Springs Community Cultural Collective (CSCCC) have partnered on a significant adaptive reuse project at City Auditorium. This project briefing will provide a background of the partnership, current status, and next steps.
Background:
The City made a Request for Proposal for the operation and management of the City Auditorium located at 221 East Kiowa St., Colorado Springs, CO 80903. The City selected CSCCC’s proposal as the highest ranked offer, and entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlining a “Due Diligence Period”, which was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The “First Milestone” of identifying the sources of $5 Million of the total funds in support of the project has been met. We are moving into the “Second Milestone” phase and are currently negotiating a Second Amendment to the original MOU, which will update a number of terms and conditions based on the current status.
