In 1996, the City of Aurora and University of Colorado worked together to create a special-purpose governmental entity, giving it a single mission: to imagine and govern the evolution of a historic army medical center into one of the world’s most forward-looking bioscience districts. In partnership with the University of Colorado and the City of Aurora, the Fitzsimons Redevelopment Authority (FRA) acquired much of the former army site and began to implement an ambitious redevelopment plan that now comprises the growing and thriving Fitzsimons Life Science District that includes the Colorado Science + Technology Park now adjacent to the Anschutz Medical Campus and the new V.A. hospital campus. The FRA directs the commercial developments in the Fitzsimons Life Science District, along with its partner, Forest City Science + Technology Group. In this role, the FRA is dedicated to providing life science companies: an environment where they can thrive; success-enhancing resources like the District’s incubator facilities; and services that help form connections between private industry and the University of Colorado. Aurora’s Fitzsimons Life Science District is becoming what its founders envisioned: a functioning community that directly supports the health and well-being of life science companies.
