A year ago, the CoorsTek facility at 4414 Table Mountain Drive was a simple warehouse.

Today, it’s a training center.

And, in the coming months and years, CoorsTek leaders hope it’ll become a regional epicenter for advanced manufacturing workforce development.

On July 16, the company celebrated opening its new CoorsTek Academy Advanced Manufacturing Training Center with its industry and education partners, as well as state and local government officials.

The CoorsTek Academy started in 2021 to train internal hires and employees.

However, this new training center in northeastern Golden was made to be used by outside entities.

According to CoorsTek Workforce Development Manager Elizabeth Pittman, workforce development centers, local school districts, community colleges and other companies will use it to train people in universally applied manufacturing skills.

“This is really what opportunity looks like,” Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Pittman and other CoorsTek officials explained how the state-of-the-art facility will be ideal for advanced manufacturing personnel, covering everything from a half-day recertification course to a multiyear apprenticeship.

CoorsTek employees are also using the training center for apprenticeships, recertification and other endeavors.

In fact, Pittman said the first apprenticeship cohort — composed of six recent high school graduates from Jefferson and Denver counties — started on June 30 for an 18-month program.

The facility is composed of two training bays. One is specific to CoorsTek employees, with proprietary technology and machinery. The second is open to community colleges, workforce development centers and others, Pittman said.

Both feature innovative technologies, such as a forklift simulator, to help participants learn.

Opportunity Now Colorado

Last year, CoorsTek received a $4.5 million Opportunity Now Colorado grant to help establish the academy. From now until late 2026, the academy must serve at least 1,200 Coloradans as part of the grant requirements.

Polis said that overall, $55 million in Opportunity Now grants will help at least 20,000 Coloradans with job training and placement. The CoorsTek Academy’s training center specifically will be a major boost for the 6,000 companies that comprise Colorado’s advanced manufacturing sector, he said.

CoorsTek leaders thanked the Colorado Office of Economic Development & International Trade and the Governor’s Office for investing in the training center, saying it will become a model for public-private collaboration.

Chief Executive Officer Michael Coors also anticipated it’d be a major asset to Colorado’s advanced manufacturing sector, and help boost local companies, employees and economic development.

Irma Lockridge, chief people & systems officer, encouraged Polis and other officials to check back on the training center in a year to see just how much it had grown and how significant of an impact it’s had.

With the massive facility between uses and temporarily empty, vandals have left their mark at Bandimere Speedway. 

They’ve broken windows, stripped electrical boxes and other devices, and tagged walls with graffiti. Bandimere representatives said people are living in the buildings as well.

Several videos depicting the damage are posted on TikTok and YouTube. 

The speedway’s former facility and operations manager recently shared his concerns with the Morrison town board.

“There have been people all over the suites breaking windows,” said Larry Crisp, who is also son-in-law of the speedway’s former owner, John Bandimere Jr. “Homeless people that have been chased out of here. It’s on all kinds of videos, and it’s kind of the laughing stock of Morrison because there are no cops.”

While two trustees said they agree with Crisp that the issue should be addressed, no formal motion was taken.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said it has no record of vandalism at the site. 

Securing the property

Bandimere hosted its last race in July 2024, and stopped doing any business at its Morrison site in October.

Global auto company Copart plans to operate a vehicle auction center on most of the former speedway site at Morrison Road and C-470. Copart representatives did not respond to requests for comment.

Sheriff’s office spokesperson Karlyn Tilley said Copart has not been in touch with them about issues on the site.

“Someone from the town of Morrison reached out to let us know the new owner wanted to speak with us about securing the property,” said Tilley, estimating that the call came in March. “Since we never heard back from them, we don’t have any official records of it, just what people remember.”

Despite Crisp’s observations, Tilley said the Sheriff’s Office has no information about criminal incidents at the abandoned speedway.

“I couldn’t find any case reports related to vandalism at that address, so that leads me to believe we have not received any requests for us to respond out there,” she wrote.

In addition to an office, the Bandimere site has a VIP tower with four floors. Future plans call for razing the towers, stadium lights and grandstands, leaving only the office for Copart’s use. Its agreement with the town also includes fencing and revegetating much of the speedway site. 

But town manager Mallory Nassau said the company’s site plan is not yet approved.

“Copart is still working on its site plan application,” she wrote in an email. “It is my understanding that once the plan is submitted and approved, construction will begin.”

John Bandimere, Jr., whose family has run the speedway since its 1958 opening, sold the land to move the operation to a much larger site in Hudson. But he agrees with Crisp that there are issues at the Morrison site.

“The land has been annexed into Morrison,” he said. “It’s something they should be paying attention to, and apparently they’re not.

“People have gone through the tower, pulled every wire and everything so they can sell it. It’s ridiculous. And people are living in every building there. You would think Morrison would not want people on the property. They’re making a mockery out of it on TikTok.”

Bandimere acknowledges his family has moved its business interests elsewhere.

“It’s not our responsibility,” he said. “But we were part of the town for years, and we are still tied to it emotionally.”

The property had been in Jefferson County, but Morrison agreed to annex the 125-acre site in August 2024. That deal includes the transfer of 16 acres to the town. 

Morrison disbanded its police department in late 2024, and instead contracts with the sheriff’s office for law enforcement services.

Four Front Range electrical utilities — Colorado Springs Utilities, CORE Electric Cooperative, Platte River Power Authority, and United Power — are teaming up in an effort to modernize in-state electricity transmission.

“We expect our growth to continue, so addressing transmission congestion is critical,” said Mark A. Gabriel, President and CEO of United Power, in a July 15 statement. “United Power serves an area that is growing quickly, attracting large residential developments and new businesses alike. A more reliable transmission route would help to stabilize costs and increase reliability for current and future members in the cooperative’s service territory.

“A new transmission solution could also benefit the utilities by allowing them to better access generation and share transmission resources, helping to meet Colorado’s clean energy goals,” he said.

CORE Electric Cooperative serves customers in Douglas, Clear Creek, Park and Jefferson counties. The Platte River Power Authority includes customers in Loveland, Fort Collins, Longmont and Estes Park. United Power serves Adams, Weld, Clear Creek and Jefferson counties.

The three rural Metro Denver power companies and the Colorado Springs Utilities aim to reduce electric transmission congestion, improve system reliability, expand access to renewable energy sources, and support Colorado’s goal for carbon reduction, according to officials. 

According to officials, the transmission lines are part of the electric grid that supplies power within their area, from power plants to local utilities and substations. 

The population growth in the Colorado Front Range presents challenges due to the resilience of transmission congestion limits. The four utility power companies serve more than 1.5 million Coloradans in the state’s fastest-growing regions. 

“We are committed to decarbonizing our portfolio for our four owner communities while supporting our neighboring utilities as we all make this energy transition,” says Jason Frisbie, CEO of Platte River Power Authority. “All options are on the table to help improve reliability and reduce costs, including opportunities to enhance transmission capabilities as we move into an organized market.”

Additionally, according to officials, Springs Utilities, Platte River Power Authority, and United Power will join the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) Regional Transmission Organization on April 1, 2026, to help manage costs and maintain reliability. Also, CORE would determine market presence alongside the South Power Pool. 

“This is a positive first step in exploring alternative ways for our four utilities to support growth and resiliency across our service territories,” stated Pam Feuerstein, CORE CEO. “Additional transmission would enable CORE to continue providing affordable and reliable power to our members, now and into the future.”

“The four utilities have agreed to continue to evaluate future transmission options that can best support each utility’s needs while advancing shared goals for reliability, affordability, and sustainability.”

Just south of downtown Littleton, the new Disability Innovation Hub is redefining what community can mean for people who have disabilities and neurodivergence. Since opening its doors on June 1, the hub has become a popular gathering place where members of all ages can connect with innovative providers — yoga instructors, speech therapists, employment specialists — and, most importantly, with each other.

Founded by Maureen Welch, who serves as the organization’s executive director, the hub was created to offer something different from traditional adult day programs or rigid, one-size-fits-all services. 

“Innovation, to me, means something out-of-the-box,” Welch said. “We have the disability ‘industrial complex,’ — the stuff that checks a box, that you can bill through Medicaid — but we wanted this to be much more flexible.”

Welch said she wanted to go beyond the typical day programs for adults, meaning the  specialized programs that offer supervised activities for adults who need assistance. 

“I think a lot of parents and members have always been told that adult day programs are the only path after high school is finished. The hub is not a program. It’s a place and it’s a community,” she said.

For the Disability Innovation Hub, going outside-of-the-box means offering a wide array of unique activities, services, clubs and member-led events that empower members to be independent and connect with each other. 

Some clubs the hub offers include a writing club, gaming club and a workout and swimming club. 

The facility also has employment specialists work with members who need help securing a job or even starting their own business.

Welch said a person’s employment specialist might even arrange micro-employment opportunities for members, or jobs where short-term tasks can be completed, such as bussing tables at a local restaurant for a couple hours one day and stocking shelves at a retail store for half a day the next.

“One of my son’s dreams is to start a dog walking business, but self employment isn’t traditionally very encouraged in disability circles,” she said. “We want to focus on the members and ask what they want to do and how we can get them to love their job.”

Welch’s 18-year-old son has autism, Down syndrome and is non-verbal. After traditional schooling couldn’t meet her son’s needs, she began homeschooling him. 

“I’d love to see our space be the space I wish we had when our son was homeschooled,” she said.

Welch is also the founder of Navigating Disability Colorado, an advocacy company she launched in 2021 that helps people apply for a Medicaid waiver which enables states to waive certain federal Medicaid requirements, like income limits.

Amid potential Medicaid cuts from the passing of the budget reconciliation bill — known as the one big, beautiful bill — Welch said she doesn’t have to worry about the hub’s funding, as the organization doesn’t have reliance on Medicaid.

Welch said some parents or professional partners assume the hub only serves younger people because of Medicaid requirements.

“As a member community, we don’t have to worry about billing Medicaid, because … whoever wants to join, can join,” she said.

People who are interested in becoming a member of the Disability Innovation Hub go through an initial consultation with staff to determine how much support is needed. Then, a membership is arranged and individualized.

“We have one member who just pops in and out, and he’s like, ‘I love that I don’t have to tell you when I’m coming – I feel like a real adult,’ and I said, ‘you are a real adult,’” Welch said.

Members can drop-in for $30 per day, or purchase a 20-pack of visits for $500. An unlimited membership is $199 per month or $1,988 annually.

For individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities living in Denver’s metro area, funding for the membership can be requested through the mill levy for unmet needs, or Colorado’s mill levy override. 

A mill levy override allows local authorities, such as school districts, to seek voter approval for increased property taxes to support needs not covered by the standard mill levy. This money from the taxes goes directly to the taxing authority, according to the Colorado Department of Education.

Welch recalled one hub member, who has higher support needs, has struggled to get out of the house since the COVID-19 pandemic. Her family then started bringing her to the Disability Innovation Hub, where she would sit in the sensory swing that is swaddle-designed to reduce anxiety.

“Her parents sent me these pictures of pure joy,” Welch said. “Her dad said she got out of the car and even ran up to the hub doors and wanted to go in, which they (hadn’t) seen happen in five years.”

In her experience advocating for the disability community, Welch said she has connected with other families who don’t know how to get their loved one with a disability out of the house.

“I say, well, they have to come and see (the innovation hub). Really what we’re creating is a place for people (who) feel like they don’t belong anywhere else,” she said.

Littletonians may soon be able to enjoy Double-Doubles and animal-style fries because In N Out is coming to town. 

The Californian late-night dining export has submitted a pre-application request to build at the corner of West Mineral Avenue and Southpark Terrace. The property is part of the Mineral Place Development, which will also include a Costco, on the site of the former Lumen Technologies, Inc. office campus.

The proposed In N Out would include a drive-thru with queuing for 30 cars near the southwest corner of the property. Access to the site will come via private drives within the Mineral Place development that connect to the adjacent Southpark Terrace.

The building itself would be 3,887 square-feet with approximately 1,200 square feet of outdoor patio area. The indoor-and-outdoor seating would accommodate 130 guests, with parking for 57 cars available. 

News of the pre-application was not met warmly among residents. A Nextdoor post discussing the In N Out was filled with concerns over traffic, especially the combined traffic from Costco and In N Out in one area. 

Early Colorado In N Outs drew crowds, with lines reaching up to a 14-hour wait time for Aurora’s location on opening day. However, recent openings, such as Arvada’s In N Out, which opened in September, have been a quieter affair, with little traffic spilling onto the streets. 

Colorado is currently home to 13 In N Out locations. The pre-application submitted for the Littleton location is currently under review by city staff and outside agencies.

An open house is scheduled for July 10 to learn about a potential noise reduction strategy for Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport.

The open house will be at Omni Interlocken Hotel Centennial Ballroom, 500 Interlocken Boulevard in Broomfield, from 6 -7:30 p.m. The meeting will be an informational “come and go at your leisure” open house to learn about the airport’s Part 150 Study, according to airport officials.

Information boards will be available for review, and airport sponsor and consulting staff will be there to answer questions and gather input, an informational brochure states.

The Part 150 Airport Noise Study will develop modeled noise contours, a Noise Exposure Map and identify potentially incompatible land uses, according to Jefferson County, which owns and operates the airport.  

According to Jefferson County, the study may also lead to the development of a Noise Compatibility Program. That requires an airport to not only identify and evaluate noise issues but also present to the FAA potential and actionable measures for noise abatement and/or mitigation, according to the Jefferson County website. There is also the opportunity for more community involvement through public open houses.

The FAA considers participation from adjacent jurisdictions to be an important part of a Part 150 study, according to the county.      

The study, which began in the fall of 2024, is partially funded by an FAA Airport Improvement Program grant.  The study is expected to take approximately two years to complete.  Airport stakeholders should monitor the airport’s website for engagement opportunities in the first quarter of 2025, say officials.

Critics of the airport – including Westminster residents – have claimed persistent airport operations are damaging the local environment through noise and leaded fuel usage. The Westminster City Council has asked the Jefferson County Commissioners to put more restrictions on planes taking off and landing at the airport.

Between 1990 and 2023, airport operations increased at RMMA by about 98 % with the population of the surrounding communities increasing by around 72%.

Airport supporters point out that the facility contributes about 5,000 jobs and $1.4 billion in total economic impacts to the surrounding area.

United Power promoted Jonathan Aust to Senior Vice President and Chief Energy Resource Officer, according to a press release on July 2.

“We are fortunate to have someone with the professional background and high level of expertise that Jonathan brings to this position,” said Mark A. Gabriel, President and CEO. “His more than 20 years of experience in the energy industry has already been an asset to the cooperative while working with our power supply team the past few months, learning the details of United Power’s many power purchase agreements.” 

Aust will replace Dean Hubbuck, who is retiring in August. He started working with United Power as the co-op’s Vice President of Energy Resource Planning earlier this year. 

According to officials, before joining United Power, he worked as Vice President of Power Operations for Western Area Power Administration, a hydropower marketing group based in Lakewood. He led a team of more than 80 employees supporting power operations that covered a seven-state region and two balancing authorities, delivering power to energy providers across their region. 

Aust has previous experience serving as Vice President of Information Technology for SCADA/EMS, a supervisory control and data acquisition energy management system supporting the WAPA control center across 15 states, according to officials. 

Additionally, Aust served on several leadership industry committees, including multiple that represent the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC). He was also honored in 2022 with the WECC Outstanding Contributor Award. 

“As we expand our many power contracts and continue to diversify our resources, we need a leader like Jon in this key role,” stated Gabriel. “His ability to lead a team, coupled with his extensive knowledge of the industry, will help continue to build a new portfolio of power that reflects the cooperative’s focus on diverse power sources and integration of local generation.”

The City of Littleton is undertaking a comprehensive Elati Street Corridor Study throughout 2025 aimed at transforming Elati Street into a safer, more comfortable, and multimodal-friendly corridor. 

Elati Street is a key north-south route in Littleton, stretching around 2.5 miles from north of Littleton Boulevard to the High Line Canal. The corridor is primarily residential, providing access to three Littleton public schools, multiple parks, and trails.

“The City of Littleton wants to make sure we are hearing from the community that uses Elati Street,” said Shane Roberts, project manager for the City of Littleton. “This area is essential to so many community members and provides access to three Littleton Public Schools. We want to make sure the proposed improvements reflect their needs for the corridor and ultimately improve their experience using Elati Street.” 

This study is part of Littleton’s broader Safer Streets program that prioritizes safety improvements and enhances multiple transportation options such as walking, biking, rolling and driving. 

Elati Street has been designated in the city’s Transportation Master Plan as a “neighborhood connector” and a pedestrian and bike priority street, a corridor that the city said is vital for local connectivity and non-motorized travel.

A self-guided online meeting for residents to read about the study and provide their input was available until June 30. The website detailed areas along the corridor that had the most car crashes between December 2019 and December 2024. Some of these intersections were:

• Caley Avenue and Elati Street, which experienced four crashes — two broadside, two rear end
• Littleton Boulevard and Elati Street, with three recorded crashes — two broadside, one sideswipe
• Euclid Avenue and Elati Street, also with three crashes — two broadside, one fixed object

The online meeting included information about speeding, walkability and bicycle facility data and allowed visitors to add comments on the map of the corridor. People could leave comments by clicking on the mode of transportation and ranking if it works well, needs improvement or feels unsafe. There was also an option to rank parking and drainage along Elati Street.

Of the 52 total comments made on the map, 27 noted areas where transportation felt unsafe, three of which were listed at the northernmost end of Elati Street where it intersects Littleton Boulevard. Three comments stated that walking and driving felt unsafe at the intersection.

15 comments addressed areas that needed improvement, such as needing improvement for driving in the roundabout at Arapahoe Road and Elati Street.

Six feedback comments discussed areas that worked well for walking, biking and driving, one being at the crosswalk on Elati Street that connects to the Lee Gulch Trail path.

The study will be conducted in four key phases, with the first phase including the online public feedback webpage. The following three phases are:

• Development and evaluation of alternatives: Multiple improvement options will be created and assessed based on feasibility, potential impact, and alignment with identified needs from public feedback.
• Early implementation opportunities: Identify short-term improvements that can be quickly designed and constructed to provide immediate benefits, while also serving as a sustainable foundation for longer-term projects.

Ongoing community collaboration: Littleton will actively engage residents throughout the study, offering opportunities to share ideas and stay informed via email updates. Residents can sign up at the study’s website.

Sometimes, all a kid needs is a simple toy. And getting to walk into a store full of them — rather than clicking through an online catalog — is a timeless kind of magic.

At Castle Toys in downtown Castle Rock, music plays and stomp rockets fly. Children and adults alike are encouraged to play, explore and rediscover the “power of play.”

That’s exactly what owner Cindy Mendus set out to create.

“Kids can learn so many life skills through play,” Mendus said.

Those include critical thinking, creativity, resourcefulness, how to socialize, entertain themselves without electronic devices, take turns, and win and lose graciously.

These are all core life skills that can “get lost” in the contemporary world, Mendus added, which tends to teach children to place value on outcomes like test scores.

Castle Toys first opened during the COVID-19 pandemic, but as the customer base grew, so did Mendus’ dream. She wanted to offer more toys, more variety — and that meant needing a bigger space. Now located on Fifth Street, the store is settling into its new home.

“It’s been a ton of work,” Mendus said, “but it’s truly a labor of love, and all the customer support just reinforces that we made the right move.”

She said the Castle Rock community has rallied behind the shop with appreciation for having a local toy store in town.

“They’ve told me they’re tired of big-box stores and online shopping,” Mendus said. “They’re so happy to have a place to bring their kids for a little treat. Many take advantage of our free gift wrap, and my favorite thing — getting to help them shop.”

Among her favorite toys is the AirToobz by Fat Brain — a no-frills toy that uses a fan to shoot foam balls through modular tubes. The store’s display sees a lot of action, Mendus said.

Another simple, yet beloved item? A $2 air flyer. 

“I love the simple engineering of it,” Mendus said. “There’s something about flying that really captivates kids. Even the teenagers and adults like it.” 

Behind the scenes, Castle Toys is working hard to navigate broader challenges in the industry. Mendus said recent tariffs on imported toys have driven up costs on products, and shipping and packaging — especially for small businesses.

To the extent it could, Castle Toys made orders before tariffs went into effect, but many of its favorite brands manufacture overseas, and those costs will soon start to be felt. 

“We will continue to source toys with the lowest possible tariff fees and while we’re doing our best to absorb what we can, some of those increases will start to show up at check out,” Mendus said. “We’re doing everything we can behind the scenes — working smarter, stretching farther — to keep bringing ‘the happy’ to our customer.”

Mendus said some customers have compared the shop to that in “Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium,” a whimsical fantasy film about a magical toy store — a comparison she considers the highest of compliments.

“Mission accomplished,” she said. “Our goal is for everyone — kids and adults alike — to come into the shop and walk out saying, ‘that was fun.’”

With summer in full swing, downtown Castle Rock has many events lined up – from free concerts on First Fridays and every Wednesday in Festival Park to car shows, and the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo in July.

With Castle Toys’ new location, Mendus is excited to be a part of it all, with plans to bring events to the store and other venues in town. 

“We’re still getting into the rhythm of Castle Rock, but we have lots of plans,” she said.

Mobility hubs are transportation centers that aim to provide high-quality transportation infrastructure, including real-time passenger information and opportunities to create transit-friendly development. 

Jessica Myklebust, the RTD director of Region 1, said the hubs are strategically located to conveniently connect various transportation modes. 

“Ultimately they’re designed to reduce a person’s reliance on their own vehicle, allowing them to easily transition to another mode of transportation,” Myklebust said. “The goal is simplifying travel, reducing wait times and making a more pleasant travel experience.” 

The Lone Tree hub will connect a network of hubs along I-25 from Fort Collins to Pueblo. 

The location will also provide access to RTD’s light rails, the city’s Link On Demand transit service, CDOT’s interregional express bus service – known as Bustang – and allow for connectivity through the Lincoln Avenue interchange to jobs, housing and the upcoming Lone Tree City Center. 

It will be providing “another travel option if they don’t want to get into a car to go see sporting events downtown,” said Myklebust. “This will also provide (people with) another way to reach the Colorado Springs area and other popular destinations along the Front Range.”

The $16.5 million project is funded by CDOT, the Denver Regional Council of Governments, Douglas County, the City of Lone Tree and the Southeast Public Improvement Metro District. It is expected to be complete by fall 2026. 

Construction of the Lone Tree Station Mobility Hub is already underway at the I-25 and Lincoln Avenue interchange. 

Just south of Lincoln Avenue, construction will include slip ramps along the I-25 northbound off-ramp and southbound on-ramp for Bustang services, and allow for safer access for pedestrians. Bus shelters, new sidewalks and a passenger pick-up and drop-off area will also be constructed. 

For pedestrians and cyclists, a 286-foot bridge will be built over I-25 to connect the two transit stops and a highway for cyclists connecting to the Lone Tree trail network. There will also be ramps, and stairs will be provided on the west side of the hub between I-25 and the Trainstation Circle. 

Sally Chafee, CDOT’s acting executive director, said that with I-25 being the “backbone of the Front Range,” expanding transportation options for the growing south-metro area is a necessity. 

“This means more efficient travel options for people, and less traffic and congestion on I-25 and our local roads,” said Chafee. “From here, the network will continue to grow south to Castle Rock, Monument, Colorado Springs and Pueblo.” 

Anticipated traffic impacts

With general working hours for the project to take place between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday – with occasional night work – motorists and pedestrians can expect numerous traffic impacts. 

The southbound I-25 on-ramp and northbound I-25 off-ramp at Lincoln Avenue will experience lane shifts throughout the project, with intermittent full closures. During full ramp closures, detour routes will be in place. 

There will also be occasional single- and multi-lane closures on northbound and southbound I-25 around the Lincoln Avenue Interchange. 

A full closure across I-25 can be anticipated this fall. This closure may span over several nights to set the pedestrian bridge over the interstate. 

Other impacts include shifting center lanes on northbound and southbound I-25 to allow for median construction work and pedestrian sidewalk detours. 

Concept drawings and maps of the construction can be found on the CDOT website at codot.gov/projects/i25lonetreemobilityhub. 

Motorists and pedestrians can also refer to cotrip.org for real-time travel conditions and road closures, and can sign up for email notifications at subscription.cotrip.org/alerts/construction.
