Mill Street Neighborhood Plan

At the 2019 annual conference of the American Planning Association's Colorado Chapter, the Mill Street Neighborhood Plan earned a Merit Award in the category of Community Resiliency. The plan was recognized for its work in engaging diverse voices and finding practical ways to empower and support a neighborhood undergoing tremendous change.

Over the past few years, resident concerns over shelter expansion, railway noise, and redevelopment uncertainty prompted a public request for a plan. Community Development staff led the project, taking on creative ways to engage the many stakeholders who own, rent, work, and play in the Mill Street neighborhood. The plan addresses safety, affordability, historic character, and various social, physical, and economic impacts of future development. Since getting unanimous approval from City Council in February this year, Community Development staff has been working with multiple departments and agencies to implement the plan's recommendations.
