A Denver City Council committee on Wednesday heard public testimony and queried city and Denver Public Schools officials before agreeing to move a controversial land swap issue to the full council.
The measure would approve that would give DPS 11.5 acres of city-owned property in southeast Denver to build a school in exchange for a 46,000-square-foot downtown school building that would become a domestic violence resource center for the city.
The difference owed by the city, totaling $705,000, would be split between the city and a nonprofit that would operate the center.
The council is expected to cast a final vote on the matter on April 1 after a one-hour public hearing.
