Havana North Redevelopment Planned:

Pictured on the left is the Fan Fare Shopping Center when it was brand new in 1962 (from the Milo Ketchum website).  The other pictures show a deteriorated Fan Fare after being vacant for 25+ years.

The Fan Fair Shopping Center was similar to a Costco--a large department store which charged membership.  It was only open a few years in the early to mid 1960's.  Some time in the early 1980's, Western Electric used the building for a year or so as a traiing facility, otherwise the building has been vacant.  It does contain asbestos, hence the need for the environmental evaluation, and has deteriorated over the years.

Havana North Concept Plan:  After input from area business owners, commercial property owners, neighbors, city staff and CDOT, the Havana North Concept Plan was developed in early 2010.  In April, 2010, the Havana North Concept Plan was adopted by Aurora City Council as an amendment to the 2009 City of Aurora Master Plan.

Blight Study of the Havana North Area:  In the spring of 2010, the Havana BID and the Aurora Urban Renewal Authority partnered to fund a blight study of the Havana North Concept Plan area.  The City of Aurora sent out an RFP, and Clarion Associates of Fort Collins was selected to perform the blight study.  The draft version of the study came back on July 20, but will not be made public until after the steering committee and Aurora City Council members have had a chance to review the draft.  The steering committee is made up of city staff, representatives from the Havana BID, property owners in the study area, and neighborhood representatives.
