Construction permits issued for Kent Place
Englewood has issued permits needed in order for construction to begin on roads, utilities and grading for the Kent Place project.
“The developer plans to begin on- and off-site road and utility work by mid-August,” Rick Kahm, public works director, told the city council at the July 18 meeting. “The off-site road work on University and Hampen required approval from the Colorado Department of Transportation and from Arapahoe County respectively. The city would not issue permits until those agencies approved the road work. Since we have now received written approval from each of the agencies, the contractors received their permits earlier today.”
