Denver pays $331 million for airport expansion, flood repairs

(Denver, Colo.) The Denver City Council extended various contracts for the renovation of Denver International Airport by $331 million over two years Monday. Some of the extensions became necessary after a pipe burst in December 2021 and flooded a newly renovated area of the airport. Hot water caused extensive damage. Although construction companies are working to obtain insurance settlements, they need to make repairs now. Other contract expansions come from a desire to add capacity at the airport.

David HeitzI've been in the news business 35 years, spending much of my career in editing roles at local newspapers in Los Angeles, Detroit, and the Quad-Cities of Illinois and Iowa. Upon moving to Denver in 2018, I began experiencing severe mental illness due to several traumatic experiences. I became homeless on the street for about a year before spending time in the state mental hospital. I am living proof that people can rebound from mental illness with proper treatment, even after experiencing homelessness. I consider myself a lucky guy to live in a great place like Denver. I hope my writing reflects the passion I have for living here.
