Build Up Aurora
The city has entered the next phase in the Build Up Aurora effort to address more than $700 million in unmet critical capital projects required to maintain existing city infrastructure and provide for our growing community's immediate and future needs.
The newly formed Build Up Aurora Infrastructure Task Force is looking at long-term solutions for projects ranging from public safety and transportation to parks, libraries, recreation and accessibility, and it is seeking the community’s input and support.
Take our 5-minute community survey and tell us what infrastructure projects matter most to you.
Background
Safe, adequate and well-maintained infrastructure is essential to the city’s economic health and impacts every resident’s quality of life. Aurora's population has grown nearly 40 in the last 20 years, compounding the city's infrastructure needs.
In 2023, the city of Aurora delivered on promises to address a top priority of our residents—transportation and roadways—by improving the condition of Aurora residential streets in the worst condition. That work is continuing annually. This was the start of Build Up Aurora, a strategic long-term effort to care for the city's existing infrastructure and provide for what is needed for the future.

We have created a Meeting in a Box kit for community leaders to facilitate a conversation about Aurora's infrastructure needs with your friends, neighbors or the residents you serve.
The Meeting in a Box kit will help you host a small, one-hour meeting to talk about what infrastructure is, how it benefits the community and residents, and gather feedback from residents.
If you are interested, please sign up as registered participant on Engage Aurora (make sure you have a login for this site) and complete this form. If you have any questions, please email Julie at jpatters@auroragov.org.
