Huerfano County approves nearly $1.92 million change order for Fox Theater rehab
Summary
County commissioners approved a change order on Oct. 28 that increases the Fox Theater Interior Rehab Project budget by about $1.92 million, split into an immediate exterior/foundation phase and a later interior phase that depends on asbestos and lead remediation.
County staff told the Huerfano County Board of County Commissioners on Oct. 28 that a change order for the Fox Theater Interior Rehab Project will add roughly $1,920,070 to the project budget.
Staff said the work will be divided into two parts. The first portion—about $400,000—will proceed immediately and cover exterior work and foundation repair, including closing an existing door into the basement. The second portion will cover interior work but cannot begin until asbestos and lead abatement is complete.
Officials said the Fox has been awarded roughly $700,000 in historic tax credits and is pursuing additional grants and financing. Staff said the theater may request a relatively small additional county appropriation next year (staff estimated about $100,000) to cover a remaining gap.
Commissioners moved to approve the change order; the motion passed during the meeting.
The transcript contains several close but inconsistent dollar references during discussion; the staff presentation consistently described a total change‑order increase of about $1.92 million and a phased approach tied to remediation work and available tax credits.
