Channel 7 News Presented Positive Lowry Review

Friday, June 18th, 2010

By Lowry Neighborhood Watch Coordinator, Betty Jean Dayoub

Once the dust settled from a local news paper’s “embellished” Lowry story, and the Channel 7 investigative reporter questioned the dramatic headline and subhead, the television station cleared the air giving high marks for Lowry’s safety and security.

Phone calls, e-mails, small group meetings, and personal notes poured in to me, our City Councilwoman, the author of the article and publisher of the paper. The More...

Home Invasions Are Easier During Good Weather Months

Lowry Neighborhood Watch groups are doing a splendid job keeping their neighbor contact lists updated and keeping an eye on adjacent homes. Onward we go as spring and summer provide tons of opportunity for burglaries as doors and windows are most often open and easily accessible. Although home burglaries seem a random occurrence, they actually involve a selection process. The burglar chooses an unoccupied home More...

Twelve to One Favor Lowry Vista Rezoning

It wasn’t easy for anyone participating in the Lowry Vista proposed rezoning process. Proponents as well as mega numbers of protesters worked diligently to support or not support the Commercial Mixed Use 20 rezoning change for the landfill acreage on East Alameda. Massive amounts of time, meeting after meeting, article after article, voice after voice, call after call, e mail after e More...

About the Builders

Arbors began in East Park with the purchase of thirteen lots at 5th and Dallas, and today there is no inventory remaining. These homes are recognized for their fine finishes and energy efficiency. They do plan to build an additional 4-5 homes in the near future.

David Weekley and Berkeley Homes are to split their 43 purchased lots for the development of 43 patio homes aligning Dayton Street. “The Green” will most likely begin pricing in the upper $200s and be designed as More...

Long Time Lowry Committees Reach a Necessary End
Lowry Planning and Disposition Subcommittee, the planning review committee intricate to the Lowry development process for many years, no longer has reason to meet as LRA has little more land development. Thus, we can see the end is drawing near for a number of steadfast community leaders and organizations. (It was my pleasure and interesting to be part of this committee. All members were dedicated to Lowry’s well being.)

Denver Finance Accounting Services, DFAS, Buckley Annex, Quietly Leaves Lowry March 2010

This clearly marks the end of a historical era. The world renowned DFAS facility at Quebec and 2nd Avenue must close at that time, and the current employees express great sadness as they are transferred, seek other positions or retire. The Director and Chief of Staff will be one of the very last to depart. Enormous changes are expected once the DFAS is gone and the Air Force sells the property. The property is owned by the Air Force and Lowry participation in the future development is More...

In tandem, the thirteen member committee is tackling definitions for often used terms within the documents. Debbie Walters, chairperson for BACAC shares, “I think More...

Mish Mash of Thoughts

From Betty Jean, Lowry’s Realtor and home owner since 1999, member of Lowry community committees, and number #1 Lowry cheerleader.

Adapt, adjust, punt. These three words are may be the best ones to guide us right now as we sort through the current economic maze. We all know this is a challenging time world wide and that real estate and related industries are top of the list receiving major media attention. Interestingly enough, More...
