DENVER—Hotels that sought to overturn $81.4 million in state incentives awarded to a hotel proposed near the Denver airport have lost their bid.
State officials awarded the incentives last year to the 1,500-room hotel that Gaylord Entertainment proposed building in Aurora. Gaylord later said it was re-examining its plans, and a new owner for the project was identified last spring.
Some hotels petitioned for the incentives to be revoked.
The Denver Post reported Thursday that () the state’s first assistant attorney general, Leeann Morrill, wrote in a letter to attorneys for the existing hotels that the petitioners didn’t seek judicial review before the statute of limitations expired. The petition was rejected.
