ULC and Alliance Center for Sustainable Colorado Celebrate New Legislation
This month, Alliance for Sustainable Colorado (the Alliance) celebrated two legislative wins. Thanks to the lobbying efforts of the Alliance and its bipartisan legislative partners, bills HB14-1349 and HB 14-1074 passed. Both bills will improve real estate ownership for nonprofit organizations in a variety of ways, such as tax exemption and opportunities for nonprofit building owners to apply for tax credits for capital improvements to their building. This can be particularly helpful when landlords are interested in renovating buildings for sustainability purposes.
Many state senators from across the isle joined in the festivities that took place at the recently renovated The Alliance Center on 15th and Wynkoop, and ULC’s CEO and President, Aaron Miripol, made a short speech about the relevance of these bills passing for ULC, its partner Denver Shared Spaces (DSS), and all of its Colorado nonprofit counterparts. Megan Devenport (pictured on left), DSS Coordinator, was recognized as being a supporter of the legislation and a great resource to the nonprofit real estate community as a whole. DSS is a public-private partnership that promotes best practices in the creation and operation of shared space centers in Denver focusing on nonprofit collaborations.
Here’s to a very successful legislative year for the nonprofit real estate community!
I would love for Aaron Miripol to e-mail me so that I might learn more about him and what he does. I was at the presentation of your bicycle today and loved seeing how that unfolded. You have no idea what you did in helping that Detective stop that very bad guy. You saved a countless number of us from his grip.
