It's Official! Groundbreaking Ceremony Signals Start of Project

City leaders, project partners, downtown businesses and community members gathered Tuesday morning to mark the official start of Greeley’s Downtown Infrastructure Improvements Project, a major milestone in the City’s Downtown Revitalization Program. The multi-year project will replace aging water, sewer and stormwater infrastructure beneath downtown, much of which is more than 100 years old, to reduce flood risk, improve public safety and support future roadway, streetscape and mobility improvements.

“A stronger downtown infrastructure system benefits more than one neighborhood,” said Mayor Pro-Tem Melissa McDonald. “It protects public and private investment, supports local businesses, improves access, and helps ensure downtown remains a safe, active, and welcoming center of our city.”

Construction is underway along 7th Avenue between 9th and 10th streets, the first phase of nearly 20 blocks of planned improvements throughout downtown Greeley.
