Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 20:52:51 GMT

A scaled-back plan to redevelop a dilapidated East Colfax hotel with the help of public funds moved forward on Monday, although it got a chillier reception from the Denver City Council than it did last year.In June 2022, the council voted 9-3 to support the redevelopment of the All Inn Motel at 3015 E. Colfax Ave. with tax increment financing, or TIF. That mechanism allows a developer to be reimbursed for certain costs by the additional tax revenue their project creates.At the time, property owner Inspire Investment Group, led by Brian Toerber, planned to renovate the existing 54-unit building and build an adjacent new structure, which would have 27 additional rooms and retail space.But a lender on the project backed out last year, forcing Toerber to come back to council this month with a new plan: Just renovate the existing building and skip the new structure.The vote was closer this time: eight in favor and five against.“I don’t believe that utilizing $3.3 million in city tax incr...

Denver’s So Many Roads Brewery has been ordered to close for 90 days and, upon reopening, will not be allowed to brew its own beer or hold live music performances for the next year if they violate the terms of a new settlement with the city.It’s the latest in a string of attempts to preserve the troubled, Grateful Dead-themed bar’s business, which for more than two years has been the subject of underage alcohol-sale and drug dealing investigations by the Denver Police Department, and before that, complaints and picketing over the alleged misdeeds of former co-owner Jay Bianchi.Earlier this month, the city’s liquor licensing department took the highly unusual step of rejecting a settlement with So Many Roads owner Tyler Bishop that had been brokered with the City Attorney’s Office. Molly Duplechian, executive director of the Denver Department of Excise and Licenses, declined to comment on why she rejected it, but in her decision, she wrote that “an...
