Michael Hancock announces stock show will stay here in Denver — but which here?
Mayor-elect Michael Hancock hadn’t even moved into his office in City Hall when he learned that claim jumpers were trying to woo one of Denver’s longtime institutions: the National Western Stock Show. That discovery quickly followed the revelation that Aurora had been working with Gaylord Entertainment on a plan to build a 1,500-room hotel/resort/convention complex and was willing to pony up $300 million in subsidies to do so.
