Aurora voters should vote “yes” on ballot issue 2J and stand together for Aurora’s future. Our City Council has unanimously endorsed this measure, which would end the city’s ban on providing economic incentives to motor sports facilities, and I ask you to do the same.
Aurora would benefit greatly from a regional entertainment district and destination that would attract hundreds of thousands of visitors who could contribute hundreds of millions of dollars to the city’s economy each year.
We understand that a regional tourism district in Aurora won’t happen overnight. Initiatives like these always take time, careful planning and close consultation between businesses, residents and government. But Aurora must begin the conversation — planning for a brighter future needs to begin today.
Without 2J, these opportunities will not happen in Aurora but will instead go to another city or another state. Aurora voters should vote “yes” on 2J and stand together for Aurora’s future.
