Heritage Square located southwest of Golden, originally built as Magic Mountain theme park, will be undergoing redevelopment next year. The owner is planning a new use for the area, but has agreed to allow the removal and relocation of the storefronts. This is dependent upon finding someone to finance the move of the storefronts-a cost estimated at $50,000 per building. Interested parties need to be aware that this estimate is only for removal and does not include applicable permits and inspections, transportation, re-erection or any necessary equipment costs associated with this relocation -nor does it include finding a suitable new location. Commitments and agreements need to be in place by end of January 2016 with removal completed by February 29, 2016. Redevelopment is planned for early 2016.

Additional interest in the Victorian Events Center has also been expressed. The same criteria would apply to this structure - commitments and agreements need to be in place by the end of January 2016 with removal completed by February 29, 2016. Prospects need to be made aware of the multiple structures within this building.

Any interested parties should email  [email protected].

The City of Golden participated in the Gallup-Healthways Well-being Survey in May and June of 2015 and had over 500 responses. Well-being was defined as a life well lived, all the things that are important to us, what we think about and how we experience our lives. Well-being is comprised of five elements including: Purpose, liking what you do each day and being motivated to accomplish your goals; Social, having supportive relationships and love in your life; Financial, managing your economic life to reduce stress and increase security; Community, liking where you live, feeling safe, and having pride in your community; Physical, having good health and enough energy to get things done daily.

Join us for a presentation of the findings from Golden's Well-Being Index Study on Saturday, January 30, 2016, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the City Council Chambers, 911 10 th Street. The presentation will feature reports from Gallup Healthways, the Colorado School of Public Health and the Tobacco Free Jeffco Alliance.
