Urban Land Conservancy Acquires 4th Property Using Denver's Transit Oriented Development Fund - Project Awarded $1.04 Million in Low Income Housing Tax Credits

DENVER, June 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Urban Land Conservancy (ULC) today announced the purchase of land along Denver's FasTracks Southwest light rail corridor that will be developed into an affordable, mixed-use transit-oriented development. This is the fourth property ULC has acquired using Denver's Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Fund, and will provide much-needed workforce housing and retail opportunity directly across from the Evans Light Rail Station.

ULC is partnering with affordable housing developer Medici Communities LLC, who was recently awarded $1,045,505 in annual low-income housing tax credits (LIHTC) from Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA), for the project. The LIHTC program provides the private market with an incentive to invest in affordable rental housing.My source says the row that's been brewing over the past few weeks has been the source of real frustration for the team at Syco who are working with Cher as she prepares to unleash her music.My impeccable source tells me: "Will wanted to sign Cher from the get-go and work on her career - but she signed to Syco affiliate Modest!

The Fund was set up specifically for acquiring and preserving land for workforce housing near existing or future light rail stops and high frequency bus routes. It is financed in part by the City and County of Denver and Enterprise Community Partners, who is also the administrator of the Fund. ULC's President and CEO, Aaron Miripol, states, "This site being directly across the street from the Evans Station will provide much economic opportunity in a prime location, giving people easy transit access for jobs and education opportunities. We expect this development to be catalytic to the area, encouraging additional community investment."

Seconds Out

IF Jon-Lewis Dickinson can win the Tyne-Wear derby at the Stadium of Light on July 3 it will jump start his pro career and lead to a British cruiserweight title eliminator.

After eight victories on the bounce, culminating in a pounds 30,000 pay night for the winning Prizefighter at Bethnal Green, Dickinson tasted his first defeat against Tyrone Wright and then suffered a smashed jaw when fighting Richard Turba last time out in September."Jon has travelled to get the best sparring and he's feeling really good."Dan said that he met Denny's son while he was in Paris.Dolan is six years older than his opponent at 31. He's had 18 fights, winning 14 of them, but is desperate to get another crack at a meaningful national title which means defeating Dickinson.The former Commonwealth Games gold medallist drew and lost to Rob Norton for the British and Commonwealth cruiser titles, and then in his last fight retired in the sixth against Terry Dunstan for the English crown.He described the trip as "an amazing experience'' and added: "My favourite bit was when we were coming down through the tunnel and I let go of the brake."However, everything is fine now and this will be a learning curve for him. He's desperate to get off to a winning start."CAPTION(S):Although there were slight changes from the 1947 route due to the introduction of Autobahns, Dan followed Denny's original journey very closely. A final total is not yet known and it is still possible to give to the cause.The system was first targeted on Saturday afternoon at East Boldon, in South Tyneside. Trains were cancelled between East Boldon and the Stadium of Light from 2.30pm until 6pm due to missing cable.On Sunday, 100m of cable was taken from Percy Main, in North Tyneside.Yvonne also suffers from the disease but is not in a wheelchair.

BIG CHANCE coach Ronnie Rowe FIGHT NIGHT Jon-Lewis Dickinson (left) takes on David Dolan (right) at the Stadium of Light next monthHe lives with his fiancee, Yvonne, and her three children.Freak double defeats when sustaining injuries has derailed the Dickinson bandwagon, but Rowe insisted: "Jon's in great shape - he's done eight weeks intensive work and is ready to go."Sometimes it was quite hard when we had a breakdown, but the mechanic had an expression, 'If gaffer tape can't fix it, it can't be fixed at all'.""We work closely with the police and Network Rail to look at ways to reduce the impact on services and on local people. This has paid off with a number of cases in which cable thieves have been caught in the act and received significant prison sentences.""I felt safe and enclosed and I got up to 50mph!" The original journey was made by Oswald Arthur Denly - or Denny as he was known - who co-founded the Disabled Driving Association which later became Disabled Motoring UK.This is the charity which champions the cause of disabled drivers, their passengers and Blue Badge holders."On Metro it is particularly noticeable because it can bring sections of the system to a halt while power supplies and signal systems are repaired.Soldiers Cpl George Bascope and Craftsman Ben Haywood from the Royal Light Dragoons restored the original trike to its former glory - and Dan said he was grateful that a mechanic came on the epic 12-day journey."It was really emotional,'' he said. "Denny's son had not seen the trike since his dad used it and that was a really nice part of the trip."Welterweight Craig Dixon, also trained by Rowe, will make his pro debut at the Stadium of Light against journeyman Jason Nesbitt.Dan McIntyre, 34, recreated a journey made by Disabled Motoring UK founder Oswald Denly in 1947."It's been a frustrating time for Craig as he's waited to get his contract sorted out with Frank Maloney," Rowe told me.

Dan, of Firthcliff Grove, Liversedge, suffers from multiple sclerosis which means that he requires a wheelchair most of the time."Thieves often do a lot of damage trying to rip cables out, and this then means it takes a lot longer to get things back to normal.METRO bosses have waged war on metal thieves who bring the system to a standstill.Along with dealing with his debilitating condition, brave Dan has failure in his left kidney and has beaten off both colon and prostrate cancer.His 1,820 mile journey was in aid of Disabled Motoring UK.CAPTION(S):* VINTAGE PERFORMANCE: Dan McIntyre ready to set off on his vintage tricycle, main picture.

It will open the door for him.In March this year three men caught while stealing cable near Shiremoor were jailed for 40 weeks each.Visit https: //mydonate.bt.com/charities/ disabledmotoringukAnd he did it on the same vehicle - a 1932 petrol Argson mobility trike.Yesterday morning saw rush-hour commuters making the journey between North Shields and Byker by bus after 30m of cable was stolen from Wallsend, affecting trains until 10am.Smart water security has been applied to cabling equipment throughout the Metro network and Nexus staff are touring scrap dealers with Northumbria Police in an attempt to trace thieves.CAPTION(S):That's the belief of Dickinson's trainer Ronnie Rowe ahead of his huge Northern Area title fight.But now Metro bosses have reassured passengers that they are determined to stamp out the crime.
