Colorado Springs New Homes U.S. Olympic Committee If you've been following the news lately, you've likely heard that the U.S. Olympic Committee has been discussing relocating its headquarters, which have been located in Colorado Springs since 1978. Well, potential good news for our city today, as the USOC and Colorado Springs officials are close to finalizing an agreement that would keep the headquarters in our city.

Now, the operative words here is "close," as the agreement is not definite and remains to be entirely worked out, but according to The Gazette, the agreement:

- would "include millions of dollars worth of financial incentives for the USOC's new downtown office"

- would include "a major redevelopment of the Olympic Training Center"

- could be approved as soon as Monday

The Olympic Training Center is one of the neat attractions unique to our city, and of course having the USOC here is something we take great pride in. The Training Center is a great attraction for tourists and residents alike, offering year-round tours, access to certain practices and games, and an overall fun time for families. It plays a nice role in our local Colorado Springs New Homes economy, and I hope the deal is finalized, as I would be sad to see this local landmark and distinction leave our city.
