If you are one of the people in Black Hawk proceeding with construction or demolition without a valid permit, you may be in trouble. Although Black Hawk’s building moratorium was lifted July 1, this does not mean it’s a “free for all” in the city. Ordinance 91-20, passed by the council in April, forbids any resident or business owner to proceed with construction or demolition of anything without first obtaining a valid permit. Anyone violating this ordinance may be penalized and fined. Beware Black Hawk residents and business owners! If you are considering building or demolishing ANYTHING, contact Building Inspector Ken Burnett BEFORE beginning any project to determine what requirements apply.
Denver businessman Jay Williams did discover gold in them hills. He hit paydirt with the Belvidere, purchased before gambling hit town, at what might be considered a bargain price. On July 15, Williams sold the building known as Armory Hall to The Shoofly Corporation of Parker, Colorado, for the hefty figure of $10,000,000.
