A 5-acre development in Littleton with ties to former Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is moving ahead with a new public-private partnership and an incentive package.
)
The city of Littleton approved a public-private partnership for the project, called 1st Street Farms, which is co-founded by Manning and owned by Denver restaurant group Gastamo Group.
The partnership agreement has $5.5M in incentives, including a $2M loan funded by business use tax revenue and a five-year rebate on sales tax revenue generated by the development. Without the partnership, the project “would not be economically viable,” the city said in a statement.
The development near Mineral Avenue and Santa Fe Drive will include a 15K SF restaurant, 13K SF of event space, open spaces, trail connections and a publicly accessible turf field.
