Denver General Obligation (GO) Bonds Public Meeting
November 29, 2016 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Periodically, the City and County of Denver authorizes General Obligation (GO) Bonds to restore, replace, and expand infrastructure and capital assets across the city. Denver plans to present the next general obligation bond (GO Bond) authorization to voters in November 2017, based on Elevate 2020, the 2015-2020 Six Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The CIP identifies Denver’s major city asset rehabilitation needs and new investment opportunities in capital infrastructure. Projects that the GO Bond can pay for must be city-owned and operated assets.
The last GO bond was the Better Denver Bond Program in 2007, which provided funding for more than 380 projects related to health and human services, public safety and culture.
Public input on the 2017 bond process will begin with initial public meetings in November and December 2016 to gather feedback from residents on their ideas for areas of capital investment. The information gathered during this phase will help identify a package of proposals that will be submitted to City Council for referral to the November 2017 ballot.
