When Denver voters are down they usually invest big. The city on the high plains really would not have been much if founders hadn’t fought for the railroad which started it off to become the regional transportation hub it is today. It took an airport investment in DIA (the region’s biggest business) during the middle of a steep economic downturn to keep Denver the Capital of the Rocky Mountains West.

The 2025 near-billion-dollar bond package won a major victory as Denver makes a statement that the current economic and political climate won’t hold it back.
