Downtown Development Authority Plan Contract Approved

During Wednesday night’s meeting, the Board of Trustees approved a contract with RVI Planning + Landscape Architecture (RVI). This agreement will allow Town staff to work with RVI to form a Downtown Development Authority (DDA) Plan. RVI has 42 years of experience working around the country, and in Colorado. Colorado clients include Windsor, Fort Collins, Loveland, and Broomfield.

Town Staff, RVI, and special council will begin the process to form a DDA, as directed by the Board at the February 19, 2025 Work Session. The timeline of the two-step process is being finalized and includes determining the boundaries, holding an election to form the DDA, and establishing the DDA Board. All of these steps will result in a formal DDA plan to be adopted by the Board of Trustees.
