Public invited to learn more about City for Champions

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Residents are encouraged to attend a new series of
monthly informational meetings on the proposed City for Champions projects. The first
in this series is scheduled next Tuesday.

City for Champions Public Meeting
Tuesday, February 18, 2014
4 - 6 p.m.
Regional Development Center (2880 International Circle, 80909)

Mayor Steve Bach, City Council President Keith King, El Paso County
Commissioners Amy Lathen and Dennis Hisey and representatives from each of the
four City for Champions projects will be present to discuss the projects, finance plans,
timelines and milestones necessary to meet the requirements to receive Regional
Tourism Act funding from the state.

“This is an opportunity for citizens to learn firsthand about these great projects
and get the facts,” says Mayor Bach. El Paso County Commissioner Amy Lathen adds,
“There is a lot of misinformation out there so these meetings will be structured to give
residents a better understanding of how these proposed projects can be built with no
increase in taxes as well as their potential as economic drivers, opening up new
business opportunities that will provide jobs for generations to come.”

City for Champions will provide its initial progress report to the state Economic
Development Commission on March 18.
