Your take on this project

How well does this project use public money?
Your rating and comment help show which projects residents see as a good use of public money, and which as a poor one.

A rating here is not a vote, a scientific poll or a message to your representative.

Your rating is kept with no name, and it is never published on this site.

How we use this
Your rating is stored without your name, address or any identifier. We count it into a total, so the people who govern this place can see how residents read their spending. No rating and no total is published on this site. We may publish summaries of what residents tell us about a place. Those are our own writing, never your rating and never a count, average or distribution of anybody's. Ratings and comments are grouped into themes that show elected leaders how residents rate each project.

Latest public update

Phase 4 of 4 enacted at $25,798,175 in HB26-1410 Section 3 — the only new higher-education building project in the FY 2026-27 capital bill. The ≈ $136.6M program total is our arithmetic, and all three of its parts are stated together on page 8 of the Joint Budget Committee’s FY 2026-27 capital figure-setting document: previous Capital Construction Fund appropriations of $55.8M, $55.0M of CSU institutional funds, and this final phase. $55.8M + $55.0M + $25,798,175 = $136.6M. The institutional money is the university’s own and appears in no appropriation act, which is why no single act can carry this total.

ANALYSIS
  • What is the projected completion date for the final phase?

Total cost and spending
Total project cost≈ $136.6M

Total cost is our arithmetic on figures an official record states together: $55.8M + $55.0M + $25,798,175 ≈ $136.6M. Funding is drawn from the official record(s) listed below.

Spend-to-date: not published. Colorado does not publish what it has spent on this project, so this field is left blank rather than estimated. TOPS, the state’s spending ledger, has no project field, so it cannot show what was spent on one project.

Where this comes from: award announcements and project records from CDOT, FHWA, agencies and the legislature’s nonpartisan staff — each Record link opens the source. Paid-to-date shows only published figures (green = verified); everything else stays PENDING, because the state does not publish payments project by project. Political giving links open TRACER, the Secretary of State’s official campaign-finance database, where contribution records are searchable by name — contributions are legal and public, and a search link implies no wrongdoing by anyone.
