The city of Colorado Springs has applied for $82 million in sales-tax incentives from the Colorado Regional Tourism Act to build nearly $220 million in projects that would boost the area’s visitor profile.
Dubbed “City for Champions,” the plan calls for a new U.S. Olympic museum, for $59 million; a downtown minor-league baseball stadium and event center, for $60 million; a sports-medicine and performance center at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, for $27 million; and a new visitors center at the Air Force Academy, north of the city, for $20 million.
