Denver considers improving rehab unit at Denver Cares for $675,000
The Denver City Council will consider Monday spending $675,000 to improve the rehab unit at Denver Cares, which is operated by Denver Health. The coordinated recovery and treatment center will meet high standards of care known as level 3.5. “This project is both a capital modernization effort and a regulatory compliance initiative, with completion targeted ahead of the July 1, 2027, compliance deadline,” according to a memo from city staff to council. “Major activities include facility design and planning, renovation of aging infrastructure, and modernization of floor plans, HVAC, and plumbing, to enhance safety, accessibility, privacy, and infection prevention activities. Improvements will support trauma-informed and responsive treatment environments intended to effectively meet the needs of patients and increase capacity for evidence-based opioid use disorder services.”

Colorado voters approve transit tax despite economy
(The Center Square) - Colorado voters approved a sales tax increase to fund a transit project that could cost the state over $1 billion in gross domestic product over the next 10 years. Residents in the Front Range Passenger Rail District voted 56% to 44% in favor of Ballot Issue 7A, which would create a 0.33% sales tax for the district, including 31 cities such as Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, Pueblo and Colorado Springs. The Nov. 3 ballot initiative is expected to raise an estimated $295 million annually for the Front Range Passenger Rail District. The extra tax revenue will help the public agency expand its starter rail route between Denver and Fort Collins to Colorado Springs and Pueblo while increasing train frequency across the corridor. The Denver-to-Fort Collins route is expected to start in 2029, while the others are anticipated to begin in 2032. Sal Pace, general manager of the Front Range Passenger Rail District, said Colorado is “one of the most congested states in the country,” especially in the Denver metropolitan area. “On average, people are losing two entire full work weeks every single year being stuck in traffic,” he told The Center Square.

Project Bulletin, November 9, 2026: Camden, Arkansas; Jonesborough, Tennessee; Centennial, Colorado
Last week, Lockheed Martin announced plans for a $420 million expansion of its operations in southern Arkansas. The company is aiming to increase production capacity for the U.S. Department of War’s (DOW) PAC-3, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense and Precision Strike Missile platforms at the 2,427-acre Camden site. The current 2.2-million-sq.-ft. facility houses production for seven DOW programs which has supplied over 700,000 rockets and missiles in the past four decades. This expansion follows Lockheed’s January 2026 investment to construct a new Munitions Acceleration Center in the city, further deepening the company’s footprint in the region while enhancing technical capabilities. “Lockheed Martin is investing at unprecedented speed and scale to expand manufacturing capacity and deliver the critical capabilities our warfighters need, faster,” said Lockheed Martin Camden Site General Manager Adam Bailey. “For more than four decades, Camden has played a vital role in strengthening our nation’s defense, and this investment marks another significant step in accelerating production, advancing next-generation manufacturing and creating 650 new jobs.”

Mayor plans to seek data center moratorium despite inaction
(The Center Square) - Mayor Mike Coffman said he will propose another data center moratorium after Aurora City Council once again failed to reconsider an earlier ban. On Monday night, when the city council considered revisiting an indefinite moratorium on data centers, council members who opposed the Oct. 26 motion to reconsider could have brought it back up for discussion. But none did, so there was no vote.

See Bison From Your Car Window On This 11-Mile Wildlife Drive Just Outside Denver
A herd of bison can block your view of the Denver skyline, and it happens closer to downtown than most people expect. There is no long mountain drive, no I-70 traffic, and no entrance fee standing between you and a shaggy, slow-moving traffic jam. Prairie dogs pop up beside the pavement, mule deer graze in the distance, and the whole loop can be done without ever leaving your seat.
