Arapahoe County board enters executive session to discuss a right‑of‑way purchase and a possible tax‑incentive deal with Boom Supersonic

The Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners voted on March 16 to enter executive session to develop strategy, instruct negotiators and receive legal advice on two matters: a proposed purchase of property for right‑of‑way purposes and a proposed tax‑incentive agreement with aerospace company Boom Supersonic.

A commissioner moved "that board go into executive session pursuant to sections 24‑6‑402, 4(a), (b), and (e) of the Colorado Revised Statutes to develop strategy and instruct negotiators and receive legal advice regarding the proposed purchase of a property for right‑of‑way purposes." The same motion added that the board go into executive session pursuant to sections 24‑6‑402(4)(b) and (e) to develop strategy, instruct negotiators and receive legal advice regarding a proposed tax incentive agreement with Boom Supersonic. The motion was seconded and the chair announced the motion passed; the board entered executive session.

The transcript records the statutory citations as the mover recited them in open session. The board did not discuss details of the property, financial terms, or the tax‑incentive agreement on the public record before recessing into executive session. The transcript does not include a roll‑call vote tally; the chair announced the motion passes after members said "Aye." Records of the executive session and any subsequent public actions or disclosures will be subject to Colorado’s open‑meetings law and applicable disclosure rules.
