The Borough of Denver has received grant funding from the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) to hire a consultant to work with stakeholders from the Borough to complete the Denver Borough Strategic Revitalization Plan. This Plan will be used to guide upgrades to the Main Street streetscapes, landscapes, signage, lighting, crosswalks, trails, civic spaces, and architectural facades while creating redevelopment strategies to prepare for changes to industrial and institutional sites within the Borough.
The planning process has begun, and the Steering Committee is asking Borough residents, business owners, employers, and visitors to provide input to improve Denver Borough by completing the online survey. The survey takes about eight (8) minutes to complete and can be accessed by scanning the QR code on the form below or clicking here.
Please take a couple minutes to complete the survey and help guide the future of the Business District in Denver Borough.
