Last November, the region’s application for state funding under the Regional Tourism Act won an initial OK, and a month later a state commission approved the proposal’s request for $86 million in tax-increment financing over 30 years. The tourism act allows local governments to put together “extraordinary and unique” tourism projects that can collect state sales taxes generated by the projects. Northern Colorado’s bid features an outdoor whitewater adventure park and a separate indoor water park resort, both in Loveland, a horror-film center on the grounds of the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park and a luxury resort and conference center in Windsor.
