Denver Mayor Michael Hancock has appointed community development consultant Anna Jones, who ran unsuccessfully for the City Council last year, to head the North Denver Cornerstone Collaborative.
Since 2013, the NDCC office has coordinated a half-dozen city initiatives in north Denver surrounding the reconstruction of Interstate 70, transit station development, redevelopment along Brighton Boulevard, planning for South Platte River revitalization in River North, neighborhood plans for Globeville and Elyria-Swansea, and the $1.1 billion National Western Center redevelopment project. This year, Hancock spun off the National Western project into a separate office led by former NDCC executive director Kelly Leid.
Say good-bye to any neighborhood input and say “HELLO” to developers and friends in city hall. Why do you think she lost to Wayne New even though she had the buck$?
Neighborhoods saw right through her. Just another shill for Hizhonor.
Want a change….get out and vote these people out next election. We will discuss this at the next INC Delegates meeting……come and see.
