Sources just told me that at the April 21, Loveland City Council meeting, McWhinney, developer of Centerra, withdrew its request to amend the Master Financing Agreement and divert taxpayer funds for safety improvements to the I-25/Hwy 34 interchange.  This is great news for Northern Colorado because had the Loveland City Council approved the amendment as Loveland Politics predicted, it could have seriously jeopardized regional cooperation.  I would like to take credit for those words but I can’t.  They came from the Greeley City Council.

Just today, the Greeley City Council received a response to its letter to the Loveland City Council.  Interestingly enough, the response didn’t come from the Loveland City Council but rather from McWhinney.  Seems that Loveland has abdicated its authority for both blight designation and correspondence to McWhinney.

Score one for the citizens of NoCO.
