'Speak Up Arvada' Community Visioning Open House To Be Hosted

ARVADA, CO – Have you ever wished to bend the ear of the mayor or a city council member about the future of Arvada? The Speak Up Arvada community engagement program and the city council will host a Community Visioning Open House on Tuesday, Jan. 8 at Arvada City Hall, 8101 Ralston Road between 5-7 p.m.

As part of a campaign to collect community values and input, the Speak Up Arvada campaign has been hosting outreach events since August. The visioning event will present the data collected by eight Arvada residents hired as "community connectors."

In-person and online, the campaign connected with 8,000 residents, according to their website, and input is still being collected.

The campaign identified several "core community values" Arvadans support: Getting to know each other; Getting from here to there; A community for all; A safe and clean community; Resources for our future; Building and sustaining Arvada’s character.

Councilmembers will use the input generated by the campaign at a spring retreat to brainstorm new ideas for the city's comprehensive plan and Land Development Code update.

Can't make it to the open house? You can still have your say via the Speak Up Arvada website.
