Aurora is open for business. Did you know close to 60-percent of our city's revenue comes from sales tax? From national retailers, all kinds of restaurants, mom and pop shops, and everything in between, businesses are Aurora's backbone. What does it take to get them to consider calling our city home? A lot more than you may realize. AuroraTV takes a look.  Also, this week, there are all kinds of CSI shows on TV, but APD gives us a behind-the-scenes look of what being a crime scene investigator is really like; Aurora's mini-con is back in person this year and holy smokes, Batman, it's bigger and better than ever; and the colorful Colfax Canvas returns to our Aurora Cultural Arts District. We have a preview. Those stories and many more this week on Aurora Now.
