The Colorado Springs City Council has denied an appeal against an affordable housing complex set to be built in the Briargate area, near Union and North Powers Boulevard. Some community members who live nearby are opposed to the project and said they are ready to take the decision to court.

Eighteen families and 45 children received gifts. The charity has teamed up 10 years with Robert Half, a job staffing firm, to provide gifts for families with children receiving care at a local hospital or medical facility during the holiday season.
