The City of Aurora is asking parents, youth and other community members for their input on how to spend $3.8 million for youth-related activities and programming. via MicahSmith_TV
“So back when the Broncos were sold this last year, the local municipalities got somewhere around $90 million. And the chunk of that that goes to the city of Aurora is about $3.8 million. And so the Broncos are now giving the money back to the municipalities and saying that the money has to be spent on youth services,” explained Johnathan Harris, Aurora community engagement coordinator. “So we're talking to teachers, daycare providers, preschool providers... parents and youth.
“I think that's a great idea. It's definitely an outlet for our youth. It's definitely a required skill set, it requires teamwork,” Shana Shaw, Compound of Compassion executive director, said in response to the skate park suggestion. Dr. Shere Walker-Ravenell, Black Parents United Foundation executive director, said she’s in favor of any healthy outlet for kids.
