The approval came on a 14-0 vote. The vote gives RTD general manager Phil Washington authority to negotiate with Union Station Alliance for the project to transform the historic building into a boutique hotel affiliated with the Oxford Hotel.
The project still needs the blessing of Denver's Landmark Preservation Commission, which is charged with preserving structures or districts of architectural, historical or geographical significance within the city.
And for the project to qualify for $7.5 million that it needs, the National Park Service must sign off on it. © Copyright 2012, kuvo
