A $28 million mixed-use project called 1st Street Farms, anchored by a Peyton Manning-branded restaurant and large event venue, has been proposed for a vacant site by South Platte Park in Littleton. Developers say the project could bring significant economic impact and community amenities, but they need approval and a public-private partnership from Littleton City Council or the project will likely be dropped in favor of townhomes.

Why it matters

The proposed 1st Street Farms development represents a high-profile opportunity for Littleton to partner with a major sports figure and bring new economic activity and community assets to the city. However, the project faces skepticism from some residents and will require careful consideration by city leaders to balance the potential benefits with any community concerns.
