That makes sense for the Denver part, but for highlands ranch? The Lone Tree performing arts building is hardly used, so i see no need for another vacant guberment sponsored complex. HR also doesnt need to raise property values. My place has almost doubled in value in 3 years based on recent comps. They also asked about the need for meeting spaces. Plenty of private venues on that side of town, never have had an issue finding a venue between the hotels or schools.

I think the whatever you call it government in HR wants to grow out of a group of HOAs into a true city.
