City of Golden, Colorado breaks ground on new city hall, police department building
Wednesday, the City of Golden, Colo., broke ground on a project nearly six years in the making. The municipal building, which will house the city hall and the police department, will be moved from its current location in the center of town on 10th street to a plot on the east end of Golden near the Coors plant. A patch of dirt that will soon become a new symbol of the future of the city. "I was really excited about it because it is, as you put it, the anchor," Golden resident Gerchard Pfau told CBS Colorado. "Golden continues to evolve, but the great thing about the city is it preserves." The move to this plot was part of the city's longtime plan to evolve the Clear Creek corridor to meet the demands of increasing traffic, visitors and residents. Moving the municipal building to the east end of town will put an anchor on an otherwise underdeveloped area of Golden. "This project will start the revitalization of this area of downtown, bring people and more opportunities for the future," said Mayor Laura Weinberg. The move instantly makes the old building one of the most valuable and coveted pieces of real estate in the city, located just off the central corridor of Washington Street and right next to Clear Creek, with access to the area. "When we purchased this property, we launched the Heart of Golden effort; it wasn't just built on this property that's vacant," said Weinberg. "It's about what's going to happen to the rest of the corridor." The city hasn't decided on what to do with it yet, but is asking the community for their input. "The prevailing thoughts have been more green space, more open space, more access to the creek," Weinberg added. Wednesday's groundbreaking was a momentous occasion for a project that started six years ago as the city enters a new phase of its life cycle, continuing to develop but still hoping to retain the same charm that Golden's always had. "Golden reinvents itself," Weinberg concluded. "We have for the last 160-plus years." The project is slated to take around two years to complete, alongside other development, including the Clayworks and other CoorsTek and Colorado School of Mines projects.

(City of Timmins photo) In addition to replacing the existing tower, it will have additional water storage capacity and be further away from expanding mining activity near the Discovery Silver tailings site and closer to South Porcupine, the release said. 'The selected site offers numerous benefits, including proximity to existing water services,' Scott Tam, director of growth and infrastructure, said in the release. 'There will be minimal environmental and archaeological impact and suitable elevation.' Will hold 10M litres of water After evaluating two design options, the city has chosen an elevated tower about 58 metres tall that can hold 10 million litres of potable water. 'Its height enables water to flow into the municipal distribution system using gravity, eliminating the need for mechanical pumping and reducing long-term operating and maintenance expenses,' the release said. The current Tisdale Reservoir on Langmuir Road will be decommissioned once the new tower is fully operational. The project will take three years and the city is seeking federal funding through the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund to help offset some of the cost. 'Council is investing in sustainable, long-term infrastructure solutions that ensure reliable water service and support quality of life,' Mayor Michelle Boileau said in the release. 'By building capacity in our water system now, we can effectively plan for future growth and increased demand on critical infrastructure.'
