You may start to notice some activity near 9th Avenue and 10th Street beginning this week, on Wednesday, May 6. Initial construction fencing is expected to go up behind the sidewalk, marking the first visible step in this phase of work for the Downtown Civic Campus.
At this stage, sidewalks along 10th Street and 9th Avenue are expected to remain open, and no traffic changes are anticipated. A full sidewalk closure is expected for a short period during building demolition. Additional temporary closures may occur later this summer during reconstruction, including work on parking entrances.
We appreciate your patience as this work gets underway and will continue to share updates as details are confirmed.

We understand there are questions and rumors circulating about how the Downtown Civic Campus will be financed, and we want to make sure you have all the facts.
The short version:The City plans to use Certificates of Participation (COPs), a common financing tool used by municipalities across Colorado. It works like a mortgage, using existing City revenues with no new taxes required. The difference between this and other projects is that there are no existing City properties or assets on the line. The COP would be secured solely against the new City Hall building itself.
We've put together a detailed FAQ to walk through the most common questions. And if you don't see yours, ask it here. We're listening!

GREELEY, Colo. — Envisioned as a one-stop civic hub, the state-of-the-art Civic Campus project brings together modern public facilities, private investment and shared infrastructure, allocated in one central area convenient to Greeley residents. The City is collaborating with key partners such as Greeley-Evans School District 6 and Weld County to best serve the community.
The Downtown Civic Campus is a long-term investment in downtown Greeley designed to create economic opportunity, provide needed amenities for residents, and support revitalization by bringing together:
Public services and workplaces
Dining and small businesses
Gathering spaces and green areas
Opportunities to live, work, and connect downtown
Economic Impact Preliminary analysis from Anderson Analytics estimates the Downtown Civic Campus could generate:
More than $12 million in annual off-site economic activity
Over 1,500 new local jobs supported
About $3 million in annual wages
At a December 9 Council Work Session, the City outlined plans to finance the project using Certificates of Participation, or COPs. COPs are commonly used for big public projects because they offer flexible repayment and refinancing options. The City of Greeley has previously used COPs to fund major public facilities, including City Center South and Fire Stations 2 and 6.
The Civic Campus project is the centerpiece of Greeley’s long-term plan to revitalize downtown. It will boost local businesses. It will increase community engagement. The project will also showcase Greeley’s spirit through cultural activities and art installations. The project team evaluated the location because it is efficient and has strong infrastructure. This helps keep overall project costs low.
As planning continues, the City recognizes the importance of Greeley’s history and the role it plays in shaping the community’s identity. The Civic Campus project is being approached guided with deep respect with an understanding of that for this legacy, with future phases intended to respect Greeley’s rich past while meeting the needs of a rapidly growing city.
