Lumen Technologies’ 55-acre Broomfield campus failed to sell at auction
casting uncertainty over the future of the sprawling suburban site
The four-building campus at 1025 Eldorado Blvd.
which includes 792K SF of Class-A office space and a 9.5-acre undeveloped parcel
was put up for sale through an online auction platform with a $6.5M starting bid
The reserve price wasn't met, and the listing has since been removed from property search site LoopNet, according to the Denver Business Journal
The company didn't disclose the reserve price or share details about next steps
and Lumen Global Issues Director Mark Molzen told the DBJ it will “continue to explore options for the property.”
Signs of trouble cropped up in March when Lumen told the DBJ it was delaying the auction
which was first scheduled for late February
The site was originally built as a headquarters for Level 3 Communications
CenturyLink acquired Level 3 in 2017 after its merger with Denver-based Qwest in 2011
Lumen, which still has 4,700 employees in Colorado, has significantly scaled back its office footprint amid widespread remote work. Last year, it sold a 63-acre office property in Littleton for $50M. That site is now being redeveloped with a Costco and retail center
The failed auction comes as the office market struggles to shake off pandemic-era leasing woes. Vacancy across the metro hit 26.8% in Q1, according to CBRE’s first-quarter Denver office report
The northwest submarket saw negative net absorption of 96K SF
CBRE said the combination of negative absorption and a 170-basis-point year-over-year vacancy increase is creating “financial pressures” that could lead to more foreclosures and loan defaults

Cochrane’s newest elite sports team that is set to begin play this fall
is slowly rounding into form as its logo and coaching staff were introduced at an event on May 3.
Soon to begin play as the 14 team in the National Ringette League (NRL)
Canada’s premier national league for elite ringette players 18 and older
with teams all across the country from Richmond
New Brunswick– the Rage will be the fourth Alberta team
and first from outside Edmonton and Calgary.
which is coming off an impressive win at this year’s Canadian Ringette Championships last month
was announced as the team’s inaugural coach at a Rage gathering at The Canadian Brewhouse in Cochrane on Saturday
Kelly co-founded and coached the Central Alberta AA Sting program for 14 years
He coached for three seasons with the Edmonton AA Ringette Club
and three seasons with the NRL's Edmonton WAM!
culminating with a silver medal at the 2022 NRL Championships.
Kelly has an accomplished track record as part of the coaching staff of Team Alberta at the 2015 Canada Winter Games
and as head coach at the 2023 Canada Winter Games
He was recently announced as the coach of Team Alberta once again for the 2027 games
Kelly has been part of three Alberta Provincial Championship teams
and has international experience as part of the staff for Team USA at the 2014 World Ringette Championships.
they will be doing so as representatives of the smallest community in the NRL’s Western Conference
all play in cities with much larger populations that have been supporting their teams for years
Kelly believes that having an NRL team in Cochrane will be a boon for the sport at the local level and for the community as a whole.
“I think it’s huge for here in town,” he said
they’re not only the best of the best on the ice
All the athletes [in the NRL] give back to the community and we’re going to be doing the same thing here.”
who has worked alongside other members of the committee for years to bring an NRL team to Cochrane
said that their belief was that if you can grow the sport by introducing more teams into the league
the athletes will grow in skill and number alongside it.
“All of these girls have hope they can play at the highest level,” Rice said
the girls would just finish out at U19 and then they have nowhere to go
but now there is a place where they can keep playing for the next 10 to 15 years.”
Rice said that 10 years ago there was just a single U19 ringette team in all of southern Alberta
As the sport continues to grow at the community and national level
more opportunities are presented for players to continue playing the sport they love.
the Rage will have tryouts to round out its roster
It’s suspected that most of the roster will be made up of girls who are at universities
“Skill on the ice is important,” said Leigh Sauer
the Rage assistant coach who has spent the last two seasons with the University of Calgary Ringette team
A coach for different Calgary associations since 2005
Sauer won six Alberta Provincial Championships and four Western Canadian Championships before joining the Dinos staff.
we’re really trying to build a culture here
and so we’re looking for good people and good teammates and a bunch of athletes that can play for one another and not just be on the team
[We want] them to be good role models for the community.”
Team tryouts have been scheduled for the end of August
with the roster expected to be announced shortly thereafter
a Broomfield man accused of killing his wife in 2023
is in the hands of a jury following tense closing arguments on Wednesday
Daniel Bartholomew Krug, 44, was arrested on December 16, 2023, two days after the death of his wife, Kristil Krug, 43
the prosecution detailed a disturbing narrative surrounding Kristil Krug's death
including allegations of harassment and manipulation leading up to the tragic incident
Daniel Krug pretended to be an ex-boyfriend of Kristil's and sent her threatening text messages and emails months before her death
The messages made Kristil fear for her safety and that of her children
A police investigation began after Kristil reported the messages in October 2023
Kristil had not seen her ex-boyfriend in over two decades
reached out several times to Kristil with the desire to meet
She told authorities that the messages would cease when she refused to respond
Prosecutors argue that the couple's marriage was deteriorating
and Daniel Krug harbored resentment toward Kristil for refusing to stay with him
They claim this resentment transformed into rage
culminating in her death as police began to close in on the troubling situation
“This was about Dan losing control,” said prosecutor Kate Armstrong with the 17th Judicial District Attorney's Office
and that resentment had turned to rage by the time we get to December 14
Think about what he did to her; you don’t do that to somebody you love."
The defense contends there is no concrete evidence linking Daniel Krug to Kristil's death
They emphasized that no blood or physical evidence was found on his clothing or vehicle
The defense characterized the police investigation as flawed
suggesting a disconnect between the evidence and the prosecution’s claims
“There is an enormous disconnect between the physical evidence and the circumstantial picture the prosecution wants you to believe,” argued defense attorney Phillip Geigle
The jury was dismissed for the day Wednesday evening and will continue deliberations Thursday morning

Broomfield’s 1stBank Center is coming down — gradually
The city has begun demolishing the publicly funded
a process that it said will take six months and cost roughly $3 million
“Our work in the coming year toward the future development will include the Request for Proposals (RFP) process to bring in a developer that will create something to attract residents and businesses alike,” Broomfield spokeswoman Julie Story said
the venue opened in 2006 but constantly underperformed expectations
Its minor league hockey team folded that same year
Originally built with roughly $60 million in bonds
the arena was able to cover only payments starting in 2020
owns the property and will have spent $135 million to pay off the bond
But the venue put a strain on more than just city finances
Broomfield dedicated 15 of its 26 police officers to secure events and fielded 738 emergency medical calls from the arena since 2016
A single EDM concert in February 2023 yielded 79 medical responses
multiple drug-related arrests and a number of neighborhood noise disturbance complaints
The Broomfield City Council voted unanimously in May 2023 to nix its agreement with the arena operator
The last event at the center was held in September 2023
“What the police have gone through at some of these events is just appalling
I find this objectionable to continue this as these events have been going,” Councilwoman Jean Lim said at the May vote
Funding of the demolition was approved in late September of this year

Deon BroomfieldTitle:Passing Game Coordinator/SafetiesEmail:deonb@iastate.eduPhone:515-294-6721BioDeon Broomfield, a former Iowa State star on the football field, is in his fifth season as the Cyclone safeties coach. He added pass game coordinator to his job duties in 2023.
Broomfield, who has nine seasons coaching defensive backs at the collegiate level, spent a season as a defensive assistant with the Houston Texans prior to his return to Ames.
The Cyclone safeties were one of the nation's best collective units in 2024 with all three starters earning recognition from the Big 12 coaches, led by Malik Verdon being named an All-Big 12 second-team performer. Jeremiah Cooper and Beau Freyler were honorable mention selections.
The group played a significant role in what amounted to the greatest single season in program history. Iowa State posted an 11-3 overall record, the first double-digit win season for the school, and reached the Dr Pepper Big 12 Championship game for the second time. ISU defeated No. 15 Miami in the Pop-Tarts Bowl. Iowa State shut out Houston, recording the first conference road shutout in program history since 1971.
In 2023, Broomfield's safety group had 11 interceptions as the Cyclones finished with 16 as a team, which ranked 10th nationally and second in the Big 12 Conference. Iowa State's 31 interceptions the last two seasons (2023-24) are tied for eighth-most nationally during the time.
Cooper picked off five passes and was a First Team All-Big 12 selection, while Freyler added three interceptions and was a Second Team All-Big 12 pick. Verdon chipped was an honorable mention All-Big 12 honoree and had two interceptions, as the safety group anchored a defensive unit that was second in the Big 12 in total defense (363.2) and third in scoring defense (22.8).
The Cyclones returned to a bowl game in 2023, earning a berth in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.
The 2022 Cyclone defense was among the nation’s elite, leading the Big 12 Conference and ranking fourth nationally in total defense (285.6). The Cyclones were just the third unit in conference history to lead the league in total defense, scoring defense (20.2), rushing defense (107.3) and passing defense (178.2).
Broomfield coached Anthony Johnson Jr. to Second Team All-Big 12 honors after spending his first four seasons at cornerback. Freyler earned All-Big 12 honorable mention in his sophomore campaign.
In his first season coaching the Cyclones, ISU qualified for the Cheez-It Bowl behind one of its best defenses in school history.
ISU was third in the league in defensive scoring average (20.5) and was second in the Big 12 and ninth nationally in total defense (310.5), the lowest output by a Cyclone team since 1984. The Cyclones also led the league and ranked 11th nationally in passing defense (187.8).
Three Cyclone safeties earned All-Big 12 recognition in 2021 in Isheem Young (2nd team), Greg Eisworth II (honorable mention) and Freyler (honorable mention). Freyler had a fantastic true freshman season under Broomfield’s tutelage, racking up 41 tackles, including 15 vs. Clemson in the Cheez-It Bowl.
From 2017-19, Broomfield mentored the cornerbacks at Indiana State. Rondale Green was an All-MVC performer and Kaelb Newman ranked second in the MVFC and ninth nationally in forced fumbles (3) under his watch.
He was the cornerbacks coach at Western Illinois in 2016 and the safeties coach at Carthage College (Wis.) in 2015.
Broomfield was a standout defensive back for the Cyclones from 2010-13, tallying 133 tackles, four forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, 16 pass breakups and three interceptions in his career.
He started 18 games in his career, including all 12 games in his senior season in 2013. He was fourth on the team in tackles (57) and led the team in pass breakups (6) in his final campaign.
Broomfield is remembered for two significant plays in his Cyclone career. In Iowa State’s upset win over No. 2 Oklahoma State in 2011, Broomfield made the key third-down stop to force the Cowboys into a missed field goal attempt late in the fourth quarter. ISU eventually won the game, the school’s only victory over a team ranked in the top-two nationally, in double overtime.
In his senior season, Iowa State staged its largest comeback in school history (24 points) in a 52-44 triple overtime win at West Virginia. Broomfield made the final tackle of the game, stopping the Mountaineer two yards short of the goal line on fourth down.
The Palm Bay, Fla., native earned his degree from Iowa State in 2013 and spent the 2014 season as a member of the Buffalo Bills practice squad.
He attended the 2024 American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) 35 Under 35 Coaches Leadership Institute.
Broomfield and his wife, Kyla, have a son, Ari.

(KKTV) - The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is asking for help finding a missing 45-year-old woman
Abbie Heffner is described as a white female with brown eyes
Heffner was last seen walking away from her home in the 900 block of Hemlock Way at 2:47 a.m
CBI said Heffner is known to have developmental disabilities and medical problems
Anyone who sees Heffner is asked to call the Broomfield Police Department at 303-438-6400
— A Broomfield man convicted of killing his wife after stalking her while posing as her ex-boyfriend was sentenced Friday to life in prison without the possibility of parole
The mandatory sentence came a day after jurors found Daniel Bartholomew Krug, 44, guilty of first-degree murder
Krug was also sentenced to eight years for the stalking charges and 18 months for the impersonation charge
All are set to run consecutive to one another
Feeling like he was losing control of his marriage to his wife Kristil – who was preparing to divorce him and was working toward fully custody of their children – prosecutors said Wednesday that Krug decided to play “puppet master” over his family by scaring his wife and then trying to protect her from the fake stalking to win her back
An investigation by police into the threatening messages Kristil was receiving from Krug while he impersonated an ex-boyfriend in late 2023
led Krug to believe authorities were closing in on him and he started to plan how he would kill his wife
They said Krug waited for her to return to their Broomfield home on Dec
after taking two of their children to school and then knocked her unconscious and stabbed her in the heart
He was arrested two days later
arguing he could not have committed the crime based on shopping receipts
license plate readers and lack of flight records that showed he was nowhere near the couple’s Broomfield home at the time of the crime
the defense argued there was no physical evidence linking Krug to the violent killing
noting that there was no blood found in his car or his clothes
which his daughter said were the same he was wearing when he drove her to the bus stop that morning
though partial DNA from an unknown person was found on her neck
prosecutors said Krug was searching online for how hard to hit somebody to cause unconsciousness on his work computer just 17 hours before the killing

LAKEWOOD — It was all Broomfield on Saturday afternoon at Jeffco Stadium
5-seeded Broomfield defeated top-seeded Dakota Ridge 45-7 to advance Broomfield to the Class 4A state football championship game next week
In the battle of the Eagles — Broomfield’s and Dakota Ridge’s mascot — Broomfield scored touchdowns on three of its first four offensive possessions
along with having two defensive scores in the first half to open up a 38-0 lead at halftime in the semifinal game
“Starting with that stop on our 1-yard line
I think that is what set the tone and let our offense drive down the field and score.”
on fourth-down Dakota Ridge junior Landon Kalsbeck was stopped just short of the goal line to turn the ball over on downs
Broomfield kept the momentum going with an 11-play
99-yard scoring drive capped off with a 17-yard touchdown run by senior Elliot Less
What a response with a 99-yard drive,” Broomfield coach Robert O’Brien said after Broomfield stopped Dakota Ridge on the fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line
Broomfield senior Mikhail Benner got the first of two defensive scores when Dakota Ridge junior quarterback Kellen Behrendsen couldn’t throw the ball out-of-bounds and Benner intercepted it and strolled into the end zone with 3:02 left in the first quarter
I don’t get a lot of targets during the regular season,” Benner said of his pick-6 that put Broomfield up 14-0
“That ball got thrown to me and I just jumped it
Broomfield quarterback Darien Jackson’s 1-yard touchdown run on the opening drive of the second quarter pushed the lead to 21-0
A second defensive score where senior Maverick Scarpella scooped up a fumble and ran 22 yards for a touchdown gave Broomfield a 28-0 lead midway through the second quarter
“We had an awesome week of practice,” Benner said
“Monday through Friday we took practice seriously
you can feel it,” Dakota Ridge coach Jeremiah Behrendsen said
Sometimes the kids want it so bad that just adds snow.”
73-yard touchdown scoring drive coming out of the break induced a running clock midway through the third quarter with Broomfield holding a 45-0 lead
You win games in the trenches,” Benner said
We’ll celebrate this for the next hour or two.”
Broomfield (12-1 record) heads to Fort Collins where the Eagles will face No
2 Montrose in the 4A state championship game next weekend
The Red Hawks (13-0) defeated Pueblo West 18-7 on the Western Slope in the other 4A semifinal Saturday
The 4A title game will be the second of three championship games played on Sonny Lubick Field at Canvas Stadium on the campus of Colorado State University on Saturday
The 4A title game is scheduled for a 2 p.m
The 3A championship game — Mead versus Thompson Valley — will be a 10 a.m
The 5A championship game — Legend versus Cherry Creek — is scheduled for a 6 p.m
Broomfield and Dakota Ridge have been two of the most consistent 4A football programs over the past five years
Both have advanced to at least the state quarterfinals five times from 2019 to 2024
Dakota Ridge advanced to the 4A semifinals in 2019 and 2020
along with making the quarterfinals in 2021 and 2023
Broomfield actually edged Dakota Ridge 17-15 in a semifinal thriller at Jeffco Stadium in 2019
Broomfield won the 4A state championship in 2022 and was the 4A runner-up in 2019
along with making it to the 4A semifinals in 2023 and quarterfinals in 2020
Broomfield have captured five state titles — 2022
1981 and 1979 — and have been a state runner-up four times
Dakota Ridge’s lone state championship appearance was two decades ago in 2004
“They are going to be chomping at the bit,” Coach Behrendsen said of the fairly young squad getting ready for next year
It has also been a taxing year emotionally and mentally.”
Kalsbeck did prevent Dakota Ridge from suffering a shutout loss in the semifinal
The junior had a 48-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to make the final score 45-7
Coach Behrendsen said there will be high-expectations next year after Dakota Ridge had an impressive 11-win season in his first year as head coach
We are incredibly excited about that,” Coach Behrendsen said of several key returners for next season

butterflies and other critters that live at the Butterfly Pavilion.
The insect-focused nonprofit zoo has canceled plans to build a state-of-the-art facility and move to Broomfield
citing a difficult economic landscape.
The insect-focused nonprofit zoo had been gearing up since 2018 for the project
which was supposed to be located 10 miles northeast in the Baseline development
Concept images of the 81,000-square-foot facility showed two massive greenhouse enclosures and exhibits representing a variety of biomes as part of the vision for the space.
That ambitious project is not happening anymore
although the nonprofit is still considering moving to a new location.
the business landscape has changed significantly since the project was first proposed in 2018
making that original vision no longer feasible in today’s economy,” a statement from the Butterfly Pavilion acknowledged.
The project was previously expected to cost $55 million, according to the Daily Camera
The non profit had already begun fundraising for the move and its construction
with a goal to break ground in 2024 and open in 2025.
the Butterfly Pavilion will stay at its 31,000-square-foot facility in Westminster
it is the “ first standalone … nonprofit invertebrate zoo in the world” to be accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums
“The Board of Directors is actively seeking a new site for Butterfly Pavilion’s future facility,” a spokesperson said
“We are fully committed to securing a location that aligns with our mission and long-term vision.”
Funds donated to the Broomfield move will be reserved to fund a future expansion. The nonprofit hasn’t said how much it raised, although it had reported having about $2 million committed as of 2022.

— A Broomfield man has been found guilty of murdering his wife in a case where he impersonated her ex-boyfriend to make it seem like the ex was stalking her and sending her threatening messages
a jury in Broomfield County found Daniel Bartholomew Krug
guilty of first-degree murder after deliberation
Daniel Krug was arrested on Dec
2023 in connection with the homicide of his wife Kristil Krug
but family members said she was preparing to divorce him and was working toward full custody of their children
The jury began their deliberations just after 11 a.m. on Wednesday
They reached a verdict shortly before 2 p.m
According to the arrest affidavit for Daniel Krug
he had purchased a phone and created new email accounts to impersonate his wife's ex-boyfriend and make it seem like the ex was sending her threatening messages
When she reported it to police in October 2023 and then they began an investigation
which included search warrants of the digital devices sending the messages
Kristil Krug was found on the floor of her garage with a crushed skull
During closing arguments on Wednesday morning
Kate Armstrong with the 17th Judicial District Attorney's Office said Daniel Krug played "puppet master over his wife and children," and as mid-December neared
he was realizing it was more than likely that authorities — as well as the rest of his family and his friends — would soon discover he was at the center of it all
he violently killed her in her garage on Dec
It started with the purchase of a phone from Walmart
The first text that appeared to be from the ex-boyfriend that referenced Daniel Krug came on Oct
Armstrong said investigators learned this text came through the Wi-Fi at his workplace
The text included a picture of Daniel Krug near his car at his work
Armstrong argued that Daniel Krug had taken the photo
so it was "unreasonable" to think somebody else had taken the photo without his knowledge
According to Daniel Krug's arrest affidavit
detectives had reached out to authorities in Utah
and a sergeant at the Utah County Sheriff's Office confirmed — via his shopping receipts
license plate readers and lack of his name on any flight records — that the man had been in Utah at the time of the crime
This caused the detectives to feel skeptical if he had ever been involved
Armstrong brought up two alternate theories
One is that Kristil Krug was indeed being stalked but it was somebody other than her husband
The prosecutor said this is simply not true
and noted that Daniel Krug's previous romantic partner experienced the same thing that Kristil Krug had before that woman had ended her relationship with Daniel Krug
A second theory is that Kristil Krug was having an affair
“There are loads of evidence of the deliberation
the calculated nature of this murder," she said
"Anything less than that is not what happened in this case
and there's ample evidence that that was the case...
Think about the absolute nightmare and hell that he made the last few months of her life
the fact that she wouldn't be with him — this was about Dan losing control.”
Defense attorney Phillip Geigle then took his turn for closing arguments
“The evidence in this case says something far different than what the prosecution has told you," he said
He went into detail about a Broomfield detective on the case
noting inconsistencies and saying he was "deliberately untruthful" in some of his statements
He also questioned the work that was done at the crime scene
and mentioned a bloody footprint in one of the prosecution's exhibits
"This was present when law enforcement and EMT arrived," he said
Geigle said Daniel Krug also had no physical evidence on his clothing and evidence indicated that Kristil Krug's body was moved
He questioned how Daniel Krug did not have blood on his clothing if he was accused of moving her body
“And I will look at each and every one of you
Stephanie Fritts with the 17th Judicial District Attorney's Office addressed the jury
She asked who had stalked Kristil Krug for months before her death
who had the motive and who had the opportunity
Daniel Krug was searching online for how hard to hit somebody to cause unconsciousness on his work computer
Fritts argued that it was easy for Daniel Krug to flip over his wife without getting blood on him because the blood was in a concentrated area near her head
She also argued this is why there was no bloody footprint when he left the scene
and why he did not have any blood on his clothing or in his car
“You think this man who's been planning and stalking his wife for months is going to be so sloppy on the crime scene?” Fritts asked the jury
She also said that Kristil Krug always accessed her home's Nest cameras from the web browser
the app was downloaded onto her phone and all of the cameras except the one over the garage were turned off to serve as his alibi
He had also used her phone to text his cell phone a question
where his phone data showed he did not move for five minutes — plenty of time to dispose of evidence
Fritts said — before heading to Java Island for a coffee
She argued that he wanted people to see him acting normal
but questioned why he had told authorities that he left his house late for work that morning because of diarrhea
She concluded by saying that his decision to kill his wife was not hasty or impulsive
but was rather deliberate and had a cover-up planned as well
The jury was then let out of the courtroom to begin their deliberations at 11:10 a.m
Harvest Hill includes one-, two-, and three-bedroom units and will be home to individuals and families who earn between 30% and 70% of the area median income. A groundbreaking ceremony will take place on June 11, 2025, and construction is expected to be completed in spring 2027.
This development is planned with future residents in mind, with amenities such as hard-stone countertops, in-unit washers and dryers, and Energy-Star rated appliances. In addition to the amenities in the units, the community will feature several shared amenities to help create a vibrant community. These include a pocket park, an outdoor grill area, a fitness center, an event and craft room, and on-site leasing offices.
“UDG is ecstatic to bring more high-quality, affordable housing to the great state of Colorado,” said Kirsty Greer, chief development officer of Ulysses Development Group. “We are grateful to all of our mission-driven partners who are helping to create a vibrant community in Broomfield.”
This development is made possible thanks to a variety of funding sources:

One year since the closure of the Broomfield Event Center on Nov
demolition of the building has officially begun
Broomfield City Council said the 6,500-seat event center never reached its full potential in hosting sporting events
concerts and other events since opening in late 2006.
According to the City of Broomfield
demolition of the building structure began on Monday
The building demolition will generally be from south/southeast to west
The westernmost section of the building will be demolished last
providing a screen and sound buffering for the residents and businesses to the west
and post the landfill diversion rate of materials monthly
Most of the materials that are not recyclable (to be landfilled) are removed early in the project such as insulation
recycled materials such as asphalt and concrete will be removed last
The percentage of diversion is expected to increase as the project progresses.
The north parking lot is not part of the site demolition area and will generally remain open during demolition except for when it needs to be closed for ingress and egress of large construction equipment
The west and east parking lots are included in the demolition plan and barriers will be put into place to prevent access to any part of the construction zone once the project gets underway
Demolition is anticipated to take six months
Allowable work hours are Monday-Friday from 7 a.m
opened in November 2006 as a multi-purpose entertainment and sports arena
LLC was the original operating manager of the Event Center from 2006-2009
LLC served as the facility’s operating manager from 2009-2023
The original construction cost was financed by the issuance of $59.8 million in bonds to be generated from within the Wadsworth Interchange Urban Renewal Area
but only since 2020 has the Wadsworth Interchange URA generated the necessary revenue to cover the Event Center bond payment
BURA has an outstanding balance on the Event Center bond of $34.2 million in principal
BURA will have paid approximately $135 million
the City and County of Broomfield has investigated additional uses for the facility
including hosting collegiate and minor league sports
converting it into a convention or exhibition center or using it as a retail or restaurant hall with indoor play space
None of the financial models associated with those options have proven viable
Staff is in the process of evaluating additional options that include razing the building for redevelopment and the sale of the property
