AURORA — In his State of the City address Wednesday, Mayor Ed Tauer applauded the city’s efforts to attract new development while also focusing on existing areas for revitalization.
He noted that the new Anschutz Medical Campus on the former Fitzsimons Army base has meant some 17,000 new jobs. Two hospitals have opened there in the past year, and officials are working to bring a new veterans hospital to the campus.
“We have become a medical mecca for the entire Rocky Mountain region,” Tauer said in his speech at the Radisson Southeast hotel.
The mayor also was proud, he said, of the redevelopment of the Havana Street corridor, including the old Buckingham Square.
