LABOR DAY: Colorado Workers to Celebrate at Annual Louisville Picnic

Will honor movement that fights for living wages, healthcare and dignity at work

LOUISVILLE, COLO. – Hundreds of workers will celebrate unions providing a path to a middle-class life at the annual Louisville Labor Day Picnic @ The Parade on Sept. 7th. Organized by the Boulder Area Labor Council, the event will focus on the freedom of workers to form strong unions so they can negotiate health insurance, a secure retirement and wages that allow families to buy homes, afford groceries and send their kids to college.

At a time when families are struggling, billionaires get even richer by funding anti-union politicians who will further rig the system to keep worker wages low. Strong unions are essential to counter unfair laws and level the playing field for ordinary Coloradans. Workers from various unions and Colorado Worker Rights United will explain how their unions changed their lives, what is happening in current organizing campaigns and why passing the Colorado Worker Protection Act to expand worker rights is their number one priority for the next state legislative session.

In addition to honoring recent union organizing wins, workers will enjoy food and games.

Colorado Worker Rights United is a coalition of labor unions and community groups building worker power through organizing and solidarity in Colorado. CWRU is dedicated to modernizing Colorado’s labor laws to make it easier to organize and empower Colorado workers, 70,000 of whom are currently organizing to form a union.

AdventHealth cleared another hurdle for its plan to replace Avista hospital in Louisville with a new five-story, 371,600-square-foot hospital building on a piece of land in the city known as Redtail Ridge.

The Louisville City Council on Tuesday approved the project’s final development plan, which also includes a 62,000-square-foot medical office building and a helicopter pad. Now the project will be allowed to move forward, into the process for construction and permitting.

Under the plan presented to the council, the first phase of development would include the hospital and medical office building. Years down the line, a second phase would aim to expand the new hospital and add a second medical office building.

Council members across the board expressed excitement about the project’s next steps, which will advance a long-standing vision to develop the Redtail Ridge site, a roughly 400-acre piece of land seated on the north side of U.S. 36, near Monarch High School.

Redtail Ridge has been envisioned as a campus that includes a mix of hospital, medical office, light industrial, commercial and office uses. Two other proposals for the site — an industrial building and a “life science building,” according to the city — are in earlier stages of Louisville‘s development process.

“I’m very much looking forward to breaking ground on this project,” Mayor Pro Tem Barbara Hamlington said of the hospital plan.

The hospital building could initially include about 150 inpatient rooms, along with operating rooms and an emergency department, a project narrative says. It’s expected to run around the clock, with around 500 staff members across all shifts. The medical office building is expected to have an additional 50 to 60 staff members. The hospital project would preserve about 63% of the site as “open space, landscaping, and pedestrian amenity areas,” the city says, including roughly 400 trees and nearly 4,000 “low-water plantings.”

The approval from Louisville leaders comes weeks after AdventHealth announced it would assume operations of three Denver-area hospitals owned by Intermountain Health. Under the joint venture, AdventHealth will oversee daily operations at Lutheran Hospital in Wheat Ridge, Platte Valley Hospital in Brighton and Good Samaritan Hospital in Lafayette.

AdventHealth says its existing Avista location in Louisville, at 100 Health Park Drive, isn’t big enough.

“To better serve Louisville and the surrounding communities, AdventHealth needs both a different location and a different building,” reads the 2025 project narrative submitted to the City Council.

“They need better access for their patients, and room to expand and grow to meet the evolving health care needs of the communities they are caring for,” the narrative adds.

The AdventHealth hospital system purchased land in Redtail Ridge around the start of 2025 for $34 million.

Something is brewing in a spot near Louisville’s Main Street, and it’s not just beer. “Craft the reason to gather” is the new motto at Gravity Brewing, under a recent change in ownership.

Don Brown and Matt Gorbsky had been regulars at the Pine Street taproom for years. Now, they own the joint.

Both men remember the first time they walked into Gravity.

“I moved to this area nine years ago, right up the street,” Gorbsky said, sitting at the corner of the taproom’s bar.

“This was the very first place I found that had food, beer and community that was just super welcoming,” he added.

Inside, the brewery is no frills but spacious, with long picnic tables and shiny tanks lining its back walls. Framed posters — renderings of space — and small globes painted like planets, hanging from the ceiling, serve as a nod to its name.

Brown and Gorbsky created a new company to continue the Gravity Brewing name, starting July 1. They named their holding company “Third Space Local,” setting an intention to build a place to gather — a space that isn’t home and isn’t the office — around Gravity.

“When we started this, we loved beer and the brewery, and we wanted to keep it going. But kind of like with McDonald’s, and how many people believe it’s a real-estate company that sells hamburgers, we felt like the real mission of this place is to bring people together,” Brown said. “That’s the real product that we’re trying to sell here.”

Brown, originally from Australia, envisions Gravity as a place to “drink a great beer in a family-type environment.”

“Australia had terrible beer. … We had one beer that was literally called ‘Cold,’ because that was its number-one-redeeming characteristic,” he said.

Scott Smith, the brewer at Gravity, was one of the “main reasons” Brown and Gorbsky decided to buy it, they said.

“No way in hell would I do it without a good brewer who made good beer that I’ve been drinking for years,” Brown added.

Smith came to Louisville from the San Diego area, with years in the local craft market. He has worked with Ballast Point Brewing Company and was head brewer at Thorn Street Brewery and at Green Flash Brewing Co., he said.

Asked about his approach to brewing, Smith’s answer was simple: “I don’t want to make junk.”

‘TikTok or Instagram — that’s our competitor’

Both new to the world of food and beverage, Brown and Gorbsky say the market has changed since Gravity Brewing first opened in 2012, and they need more than just great brews to get people through the doors. Their competitors, Brown added, aren’t other restaurants — or even other breweries.

“We see our competitors as somebody who is on their phone, because they’re sitting at home just watching TikTok or Instagram — that’s our competitor. We need to get people out and interacting and socializing,” he said.

Smith has worked to integrate non-alcoholic options to their menu, such as craft soda and hop water. The brewery also serves food from Double D’s Sourdough Pizzeria, and Brown and Gorbsky have worked to fill out the space’s event calendar with trivia, theme nights and group events.

“In the 2010s, all you had to do was have great beer, and all of a sudden everyone comes flooding in. Nowadays, that’s not the case,” Brown said. “You have a generation not drinking as much. The economy is making people a lot more choosy about where they spend their money. So having a great beer is a good start, but that bigger goal is bringing people together.”

Gravity Brewing at 1150 Pine St., a short walk from Louisville’s Main Street, has a foundation of familiar faces. Brown and Gorbsky, once regulars themselves, know it well.

“We’ve celebrated births, we’ve celebrated lives, we’ve celebrated lots of things together over the years,” Gorbsky said.

But the duo hopes that Gravity’s pull is strong enough to also bring some new faces — families, young professionals, retirees — into their orbit.

“We want to bring people together, get them to interact, find common ground,” Brown said. “That’s where we start. Getting back to that alignment as people.”
