The Aurora City Council voted Monday to move forward with a purchase agreement for a 13-acre hotel site for its future regional navigation campus.
The campus is intended to be a “one stop shop” for homeless services, helping direct people to shelters and resources, similar to the Colorado Springs Rescue Mission.
The property is at 15550 E. 40th Ave. in Aurora, which is currently a Crowne Plaza hotel and convention center.
After some debate at Monday’s meeting, the council voted to move forward with purchasing the land despite “no” votes from Councilmembers Curtis Gardner, Alison Coombs and Ruben Medina.
