Consultation has concluded

The City of Greeley received a Certified Local Government grant from History Colorado to conduct a historic resource survey in the Cranford neighborhood, specifically in the area bound by 14th and 16th Streets and 10th and 12th Avenues. The intent of the survey is to gather information and document the history and architectural character of 72 select properties within the area. The survey will also help identify properties that may be eligible for designation on the Greeley Historic Register. In addition to the official survey, Greeley's Historic Preservation team is asking current and former residents or visitors to share what they know about properties and buildings in the survey area.

Know a little or a lot about a home in the survey area? Let us know. Maybe what you know isn't about a building, but an experience you, a friend, or a family member have had. Click the stories tab and tell us all about it. Stories are a critical piece of history that must be shared and captured.
