-----------------------

March 12 Update: Due to inclement weather, the meeting on March 14 will now only occur virtually and not in person.

--------------------------

Community members and businesses interested in the progress of the Aurora Regional Navigation Campus are welcome to attend upcoming hybrid public meetings. Attendees will learn project updates and have the opportunity to ask questions.

Two meetings are planned, each tailored to address the concerns of different stakeholders, particularly those located near the campus. The intention is to allow ample time for questions from those the campus activity would directly impact.

Meeting for Business Owners | Thursday, March 14 | 6 to 8 p.m.
Meeting for Residents | Thursday, March 28 | 6 to 8 p.m.

The meetings will take place at the Aurora Municipal Center, 15151 E. Alameda Parkway, Paul Tauer Council Chamber. A virtual option is also available; meeting details are available at EngageAurora.org/NavigationCampus. Recordings of both meetings will also be viewable on the project website.

“Community outreach is a critical component in the development of the navigation campus,” said Jessica Prosser, Aurora’s Housing and Community Services Director. “These meetings are part of our “Good Neighbor” plan to keep stakeholders informed and engaged as the project progresses.”

Spanish interpretation will be provided at both meetings in person and virtually; additional language interpretation can be requested by the Monday before the meeting by contacting language@auroragov.org or calling 303.739.7521.

Fliers informing the public about both meetings are translated into English, Spanish, Korean, Chinese (Mandarin), Vietnamese, and Amharic to reach diverse community groups, and they are available on the project page.

Postcards in English and Spanish have been distributed to addresses within a 1.5-mile radius of the campus. Aurora city staff plans to contact Denver city staff and provide meeting materials for reference and, if they so choose, also help to promote the meetings.

In January 2024, Aurora City Council voted to purchase the property at 15550 E. 40th Ave. in Aurora for its regional navigation campus to serve those experiencing homelessness with various services. The city is expected to close on the property in May 2024.
