SAVE THE ASTOR HOUSE…AGAIN!
The Astor House and its grounds are listed on the National Historic Register and essential to Golden’s past. This email is to inform you the City has embarked on a path to sell (or lease long-term) this historic landmark to a private party. We would like to call for a pause in the City’s efforts to allow for public discourse, discussion, and public input regarding the Astor House’s future.
In 1972, saving the Astor House was important enough to the citizens of Golden to warrant a ballot initiative to avoid raising the building. What we are asking now is for the public to have the opportunity to have open and honest discussion with the City of Golden (other than Guiding Golden), rather than rushing to a decision and putting it on the 2019 ballot.
Whatever your opinion, we are asking you to please attend this Thursday’s City Council meeting, August 8, at 6:30 pm, and let them see there are many citizens’ concerned about this important issue. There will be opportunity for public comments if you so choose. Please forward this email to everyone you know.
If you can’t attend the meeting, please voice your opinion by emailing your councilor at: councilcomments@cityofgolden.net and/or your City Manager, Jason Slowinski, at: jslowinski@cityofgolden.net
Yours sincerely,
Bill Litz
