Colorado approves $10M in incentives; largest award aims to poach major solar factory

By Bernadette Berdychowski | Denver Gazette The Colorado Economic Development Commission approved more than $10 million in tax incentives Thursday to three companies looking to expand along the Front Range. The largest incentive of $6.25 million was awarded to an unnamed solar manufacturer looking for other options to build its first solar cell factory under the code name “Project Phoenix.” It’s considering developing in El Paso County, in or near Colorado Springs. The EDC typically keeps the names of companies seeking incentives confidential in the competitive process to attract businesses from going to other states. At Thursday’s EDC meeting, Hari Achuthan spoke on behalf of Project Phoenix. Achuthan is the CEO and founder of solar manufacturer Convalt Energy. READ THE FULL S...

Denver fails to meet emergency response time goals, audit says

By Deborah Grigsby | Denver Gazette A city audit concluded that Denver's emergency first responders are failing to meet their own response time goals — a situation that managers partly blamed on new laws that resulted in having less control over how often staffers could take a leave of absence. Emergency managers also said that, as a result, the city needs to hire more 911 operators.       Denver Auditor Timothy M. O’Brien said he sought to evaluate several key aspects of the city’s 911 emergency response system, including alignment with industry standards, adequate staffing levels, oversight and monitoring, the reliability of data used for decision-making, and compliance with contractual obligations.

Brauchler: Residents of the new 23rd District choose law and order

By George Brauchler | Commentary, Denver Gazette On Jan. 14, every district attorney in Colorado will take the oath of office and begin a four-year term of seeking justice and public safety consistent with the values of their individual jurisdiction and within the limitations of Colorado’s ever-weakening laws. For the first time in more than 60 years in Colorado, a new judicial district will come into existence, and with it, a brand new district attorney’s office. I am honored to have the opportunity and obligation to be the first DA to lead the new 23rd Judicial District. This jurisdiction — comprising Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties — begins at a unique time and place in Colorado’s history. Colorado is far from a “top 10 safest state,” as pledged by Gov. Jared Polis in 2022...

Denver court dismisses Douglas County’s lawsuit over Colorado’s ‘sanctuary’ laws

By Noah Festenstein | Denver Gazette A Denver district court has dismissed a lawsuit that Douglas County filed against the state of Colorado over its "sanctuary" statutes that restrict local law enforcement officials from working with federal authorities on illegal immigration, according to the county's lawyer. The lawsuit targeted a 2023 law that restricts the ability of state and local governments from making agreements with federal immigration officials over the detention of immigrants who are unlawfully staying in the country, as well as a 2019 statute that blocks local law enforcers from arresting or detaining an immigrant solely on the basis of a federal immigration detainer.

Colorado is 6th most regulated state in America, chamber report says

By Marissa Ventrelli and Luige del Puerto | Denver Gazette Colorado is the sixth-most regulated state in the country and nearly half of its roughly 200,000 regulations are "excessive or duplicative," a finding that poses negative ramifications on economic growth, on productivity and, ultimately, on residents, according to a new study from the state's chamber of commerce. The study commissioned by the Colorado Chamber of Commerce is the latest report to examine the state's regulatory environment and to argue that the regulations lead to job losses associated with compliance costs and lost sales. The chamber released its study following another report showing that Colorado has slipped behind other states in terms of economic strength and that its economy is proje...
