In 1989, the Golden City Council created the Golden Urban Renewal Authority (GURA) to support the economic vitality of downtown Golden. When the Golden City Council created GURA, it also adopted an Urban Renewal Plan to provide guidance to GURA. The organization implements urban renewal projects, consistent with community values.

The Golden Urban Renewal Authority meets on the second Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in Council Chambers. To learn more, visit our GURA page. To view agendas and minutes for GURA meetings, visit our Agendas, Minutes, Web Casts and Schedules page.

Please join us Tuesday, April 11 between 6 and 8 p.m. for the next meeting on the Washington Avenue complete street project. This project will consist of improvements on Washington Avenue between 10^th Street north to Hwy 93. Based on input provided at our January 23 public meeting, we’ve developed several engineering solutions for the corridor to address:

• Safe bike facilities
• Enhanced pedestrian facilities and safety
• Reduced vehicular speeds

The design team has developed several concepts and we’d like your input.

The meeting will be an open house format held at Mitchell Elementary School, 201 N Ruby Drive.

* Please note, the meeting this week will take place down the street in Council Chambers at 911 10th Street.

The Economic Development Commission (EDComm) was established by Golden City Council in June of 1999 and consists of eight members. The purpose of the Economic Development Commission is to provide leadership, education, and the tools necessary for the Golden community to optimize appropriate economic opportunities. Their duties include developing a structure and strategy for marketing/promoting the Golden community.

To download the agenda for the next meeting, or view archived agendas, minutes or listen to audio from past meetings, please visit the Agendas, Minutes, Web Casts and Schedules page.

The Economic Development Commission meets regularly on the second Tuesday of each month starting at 6:30 p.m. in the Public Works/Planning building located at 1445 10th Street. If a meeting must be rescheduled for some reason, the date will be noted on the Community Calendar.

Join us for a community planning process and public input opportunity for the Colorado School of Mines neighborhoods from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 12 at the Golden Community Center.

This City-driven process is not intended to address the arrangement of various University uses within the campus boundaries. Rather, the focus will be on the relationship of the campus as a whole to the community, and the interface of campus boundaries with nearby residential, commercial, cultural and recreational uses. City Council and staff are seeking specific input and recommendations as to how the relationship of the buildings and uses along the edges of campus can meet the University’s needs while respecting and enhancing the physical and social relationship with adjacent neighbors.

Come join the Colorado School of Mines, Newmont Mining, Traxion and the City of Golden to celebrate Entrepreneurship and Innovation on Thursday, April 13 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Geology Museum on the School of Mines campus.

This event brings Mines students, faculty and administration together with influential members of the local business community and civic government to highlight all of the great work being done to support technology and innovation with early-stage companies in the City of Golden and around the region.

*Please note, the meeting this week will begin at 6 p.m. instead of 6:30 p.m. Council will convene first at that time and then adjourn into executive session, returning to the public meeting at 6:30 p.m. 

The Golden City Council meets in Council Chambers in City Hall every second and fourth Thursday at 6:30 p.m., unless rescheduled due to holidays or other events happening in the city, such as this meeting.

Bring the little ones to Parfet Park on Saturday, April 15 at 10 a.m. for an Easter egg hunt hosted by the Kiwanis Club.

Eggs will be hidden all over the park and the hunt is free and open to all children ages 9 and under. Don’t be late! The hunt kicks off at 10 a.m. sharp and with so many eager little hunters, those eggs won’t stay hidden long.

The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) is a special district entity authorized and directed by state statute to benefit the economic and community vitality of the downtown area. The DDA will also be authorized to provide tax increment economic incentives to eligible redevelopment projects, much like GURA was able to do in the past.

The DDA meets on the third Monday of each month (unless otherwise noted on the calendar) at 6:30 p.m. in Council Chambers.

Please visit the Agendas, Minutes, Web Casts and Schedules to download agendas and minutes. View the DDA page for more information on the Downtown Development Authority.

The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board was created in 1982 in order to increase community involvement, and to advise Golden City Council and staff on how to best provide safe and comprehensive parks and recreation facilities, programs, and services on behalf of all current and future residents of the City of Golden.

The board consists of seven members and one alternate who serve four-year terms, making suggestions about policies and procedures, fees and charges, acceptance of park land, design of parks, and other projects relating to the Parks and Recreation Department.

The board meets regularly at 7 p.m. in the Community Center on the third Tuesday of each month. For more information, please visit our Parks and Recreation Advisory Board page.
