A group led by Colorado Springs Conservatory owner Linda Weise wants to pump $53 million into City Auditorium to rejuvenate it as a cultural asset that would host arts and music, nonprofit and business events.
For years, the city has been seeking to overhaul the landmark at 221 E. Kiowa St., built in 1923. The auditorium has been used in recent years for roller derbies, metaphysical fairs and occasional concerts. In 2008, the memorial service for long-time Colorado Springs Mayor Bob Isaac was held there.
Early results released by the city clerk s office showed Henjum had garnered 5,302 votes 37.6% of ballots in the most competitive race of the evening and was likely to be elected to represent Colorado Springs’ central sector. It was one of six district races on the ballot that could determine the direction of council for the next four years.
Jill Gaebler, first elected to represent the district in 2013 and re-elected to a second term in 2017, is term-limited and cannot run again. I was believing I would win based on my campaigning, but there were five people running and it was competitive, Henjum said by phone from her home Tuesday night.
