Negotiated Under 1999 Agreement with Black Hawk
PRESS RELEASE – On March 24, 2020, the City Council of Central authorized the initiation of litigation against the City of Black Hawk in an effort to preserve land-use plans outlined in a binding intergovernmental agreement (“IGA”) that was established in 1999 and remains in effect. Central’s move followed notice from Black Hawk’s City Manager of plans to annex, zone, and approve development of commercial and industrial land uses in an area limited to residential and golf course uses as per the IGA.
The project behind Black Hawk’s violation of the IGA is known as the Lake Gulch Whiskey Resort, a distillery and lodging destination. Central requested that Black Hawk delay approval of the development in order to bring the proposed project into compliance with the IGA and to ensure that impacts to the Central City Casino Parkway were sufficiently mitigated.
