CHUN received unanimous Denver City Council approval to rezone the property of the Tears McFarlane house. The rezoning allows for a new café whose proceeds will help fund the much-needed restoration of the historic house built in 1899. Other amenities will include community serving office space, events space for nonprofits and neighborhood groups, and opportunities to connect with locals. |
