This Week in Aurora

Regularly we will try to update you on some of the things (stories, events, development, etc) happening around Aurora in the previous couple weeks.

Here's the first installment:


  • The 4th public high school in Aurora will being construction in the next few months, but we're not sure where yet. There's some controversy over the location and it's going to mediation and maybe court.

  • Aurora's annual Cinco de Mayo festival is being held downtown this weekend.

  • Mayor Tom Weisner gave his State of the City address this week, focusing more on progress made with crime and downtown development than any announcements of any new projects.

  • The Beacon News featured a story on Hesed House (the homeless shelter and food pantry that Infuse donated food to this week)

  • A local church, Warehouse Church, held their 8th annual Motorcycle Sunday, which brought out hundreds of bikers to Phillips Park.

  • Last weekend was another large anti-abortion protest at the new Planned Parenthood on the city's far east side.
