The City has set aside $2 million for residents to decide how to spend on neighborhood improvement projects. This summer, residents submit over 1,100 ideas to brainstorm how to spend $2 million of infrastructure funding in Denver! Later this summer, residents who volunteered to serve as Budget Delegates will work with city staff to turn ideas into proposals and, this fall, eligible residents will vote for their favorite projects!
WHO Could SUBMIT A PROJECT IDEA?
Denver residents must meet the following eligibility guidelines to submit an idea:
To submit an idea in one of the pilot focus neighborhoods, you must live, go to school, or work at or own a micro-business (10 or fewer employees) in that area.
Far Northeast (Montbello, Gateway-Green Valley Ranch, DIA)
East (South Park Hill, Hale, Montclair, East Colfax)
East Central (North Capitol Hill, Capitol Hill, City Park West, Cheesman Park, City Park, Congress Park)
To submit an idea in any other Denver neighborhood, you must live, go to school, or work at or own a micro-business (10 or fewer employees) in Denver.
WHAT TYPES OF PROJECT IDEAS MAY RESIDENTS SUBMIT?
The money available for Denver Participatory Budgeting must go towards projects that aim to build or improve infrastructure, which are physical projects or "capital" projects that:
Benefit the public,
Cost over $10,000,
Are one-time (non-recurring) costs, and
Have a life span of at least 15 years or more.
Some examples include improvements to streets, sidewalks, bike lanes, cross-walks, features in parks and recreation centers, public art, and capital projects to make Denver more sustainable and resilient. See the FAQs for examples of capital project ideas and estimated costs that could align with the available Participatory Budgeting funds.
This does NOT include projects that are services or programs.
Check out the Idea Collection FAQs for more details about submitting project ideas and the Idea Collection phase.
