There should be a decision next week about who can move into Aspen's Old Power House. Aspen City Council heard comments from more than forty people at a meeting last night. Council is considering a handful of proposals. The Old Power House was formerly home to the Aspen Art Museum, essentially rent free. After a lengthy hearing last night, Council decided to select a new occupant next week.
“Conversation next week around this may not be lengthy. It’s not about public engagement it’s about Council debate,” said Mayor Steve Skadron. “It could be a matter of five minutes.” Most comments favored the Aspen Science Center, or a proposal that combines a business incubator and the Aspen Brewing Company.
