Greeley is investing in a stronger, more vibrant future for all of us.

We’re modernizing the essential infrastructure that keeps our community running—today and for generations to come. The Downtown Greeley Revitalization Infrastructure Project covers nearly 20 blocks with upgrades to water lines, sanitary sewer, stormwater, roads, sidewalks, and streetscapes. Construction begins in Summer 2026 and will be completed in phases.

Starting in our historic downtown core allows us to tackle the oldest and most critical parts of our underground systems first. These improvements will deliver reliable services, better flood protection, safer streets, and a more walkable, welcoming downtown that supports local businesses and community events for years ahead.

Stormwater Improvements

  1. New, larger stormwater infrastructure
  2. New stormwater inlets with more capacity at key intersections
  3. Significantly increased drainage capacity
Why this matters to you: These upgrades will dramatically reduce flood risk and improve public safety. By better managing stormwater, the downtown area will experience fewer flooded streets, reduced risk of property damage, and greater peace of mind during heavy rains, including managing a 100-year storm event. This strengthens long-term resiliency so downtown stays safer and more functional for everyone.

Water & Sewer Improvements

  1. Replacement of aging pipes (some over 100 years old)
  2. More reliable water and sewer service
Why this matters to you: Much of downtown’s existing infrastructure is old and undersized, leading to potential breaks, low water pressure, and service disruptions. These replacements will provide a more dependable water service and efficient sewer systems for homes and businesses. They also build the necessary capacity to support future growth.

Roadway Improvements

  1. Smoother, longer-lasting pavement
  2. Enhanced intersections for safer driving
Why this matters to you: These improvements to our roads will make driving through downtown smoother, safer, and more reliable. Better pavement creates a more comfortable ride and reduces wear and tear on vehicles, while upgraded intersections help improve traffic flow and increase safety for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.

Streetscape & Mobility Improvements

  1. Upgraded sidewalks and accessibility features
  2. Beautiful streetscape enhancements
  3. Better connections for walking and biking
Why this matters to you: These changes will make downtown easier to navigate on foot or by bike and more welcoming for everyone. Improved sidewalks will help people reach local shops, restaurants, and destinations more comfortably, while enhanced streetscapes create safer, more attractive public spaces that support a vibrant downtown experience.


Building the Foundation for Downtown Revitalization

These underground infrastructure upgrades are essential before many of the exciting above-ground improvements (new gathering spaces, storefront enhancements, etc.) can happen. By investing now, we’re creating a solid foundation that avoids bigger problems and higher costs down the road while preparing Greeley for continued growth.

What to Expect During Construction

We’re committed to keeping disruptions as minimal as possible:

  • Downtown stays open — businesses will remain accessible
  • Pedestrian and traffic access will be maintained
  • All scheduled downtown events will continue as planned
  • Construction will occur in phases
  • Temporary traffic changes, parking adjustments, and detours will happen at times

We’ll keep you informed with regular updates, schedules, and detour maps right here on this page.

This is more than infrastructure work—it’s an investment in a safer, stronger, and more vibrant Greeley that we can all be proud of. Thank you for your patience and support as we build a better downtown together!

    Overview

    The City of Greeley hosted a public open house on June 22 at the Greeley Recreation Center to share information about the upcoming infrastructure improvement project. The event was set up in an informal, walk-through format with informational boards positioned throughout the room, allowing attendees to move at their own pace and engage directly with project team members.

    In addition to the project boards, a business support table was available to connect nearby business owners with resources and assistance related to construction impacts.

    Handouts provided information about water utility improvements and the Civic Center Campus, giving attendees additional context on related City initiatives.

    The event was marketed through social media, the SpeakUp Greeley project page and other City channels, including newsletters, to encourage community awareness and attendance.

    Nearly 30 people attended, the majority of whom were project team members and partner agencies. About 12 attendees represented the public, including nearby residents and business owners who came out with genuine interest in the project.

    Public Sentiment

    Overall public sentiment toward the project was positive, with attendees expressing support for the upgrades the project will bring to the area. Some attendees raised concerns about parking and potential impacts to nearby businesses during construction. Attendees were pleased to learn that detour maps, parking impacts and other project updates will be posted to SpeakUp Greeley, which will serve as the central hub for all project information.

    Another concern raised was the potential impact to businesses during the upcoming holiday season. The project team was able to share that this feedback had already been heard and incorporated, and that work has been phased to avoid impacting businesses during that critical period.

    One comment expressed general frustration with construction activity in Greeley overall rather than concerns specific to this project. Aside from that comment, feedback was supportive of the project and its goals.
