Draft Colfax Community Vision & Action Plan Questionnaire
The Colfax Community Vision & Action Plan is a long-term roadmap for revitalizing East Colfax and the surrounding areas of Northwest Aurora. This plan lays out a shared vision for the next 10 to 20 years and suggests practical steps to achieve that vision. This plan also sets the stage for creating two new organizations: a Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and a Community Development Corporation (CDC). Together, these organizations would help create public improvements, support local businesses, and protect the area’s character while promoting economic growth that benefits everyone.
Please use this questionnaire to provide feedback on the first draft of the plan.
Thank you!
