Should Coloradans Be Concerned About Our Economy? Plus, a New Vision for the Pavilions
About this episode
The episode discusses concerns about Colorado's economy and a new vision for the Denver Pavilions mall.
A delegation of hotshot urban planning consultants was downtown last week to examine the newly city-owned Denver Pavilions mall on 16th Street and propose a new vision for the site – turns out, their vision includes demolishing a lot of it. So, what’s the plan? Chief economist for the Colorado Legislative Council Greg Sobetski joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to swap stories of the Pavilions and dissect a recent open letter from 230 Colorado CEOs calling on our elected officials to fix our “deteriorating” economy.
