\t\t\t\t\"stanley<\/a>In the June Front Porch<\/a> it was announced that the Stanley Aviation building, which has remained vacant for years, will be repurposed and serve as a community marketplace<\/a>. \u201cThis is really exciting,\u201d said resident Mike Stevens. \u201cEastbridge has been waiting for this for a long time, so to finally get a neat little town center we can be proud of is pretty cool.\u201d Of course, Forest City and Stapleton can hardly make claim to the new project. Stanley Marketplace found a partner in the least likely of places; Aurora.\n\n\u201cThe City of Aurora has been great to work with,\u201d said owner Chris Penningroth. \u201cWe know that Stapleton and Aurora have certainly had their disagreements, but when we discussed this project with them, they absolutely stepped up to help make sure the project came through.\u201d There is currently not a definitive timetable for the project, but Penningroth hopes it can be completed by next year. \u201cThere is a lot of work to be done,\u201d says Penningroth. \u201cBut the City of Aurora has proven much easier to work with than Forest City, so we are hoping things will move forward quickly.\u201d\nPenningroth is not willing to share some of the potential vendors in the marketplace at this time, but promises there will be a beer garden. \u201cThe fact that people will be able to ride their bikes from the Westerly Creek trail and sit outside and enjoy the Stapleton and mountain views should be enough to get customers out here. We are even considering having a small dog play area if people walk their dogs here.\u201d Most Stapleton residents are very excited about the new project. \u201cIt just goes to show you what can be done without Forest City,\u201d said resident Sam Dillingham. \u201cIt\u2019s too bad they are always tripping over themselves, or they would have been able to champion this project.\u201d\nTo most all Stapleton residents, there is only one negative to the Stanley Marketplace project. \u201cI\u2019m not psyched about having to go into Aurora,\u201d said resident Jolene Larson. \u201cBut, as long as I can still see Stapleton, and don\u2019t have to have the \u2018Aurora feel,\u2019 I guess it is okay.\u201d Aurora Mayor Steve Hogan couldn\u2019t be more pleased with the concept of the project. \u201cIt is about time we do something with that building,\u201d said Hogan. \u201cAnd, if we can get some Stapleton dollars rolling into Aurora, it\u2019s really going to help our economy.\u201d ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
