What to Expect at the August Open House

What to Expect at the August 14 PRRI Open House

We’re reaching an exciting milestone in the Poudre River Restoration Initiative (PRRI)—and we want you to be part of it!

On August 14, the City of Greeley will be hosting an open house to share the beginning Vision 2045 Concept and gather community feedback. This is not a final design or a set of decisions—it’s a chance to see where things are headed and help shape what comes next.

Your input is especially valuable at this stage. While we don’t have all the answers yet—that’s by design—this is a pivotal moment in the process. We've been listening carefully, and what residents, partners, and community members have told us has helped us decide what to focus on first. Now, we want to be sure those values are reflected in the emerging concept.

Getting feedback now helps us find common themes, understand what the community wants, and make sure we develop this vision together with the community.

The PRRI is a 20-year vision—not a final design or rigid blueprint. This flexible, long-term plan will guide future spending on flood protection, restoring nature, public access, and fixing infrastructure.

Getting feedback now helps us move forward with a clear direction. This way, we can focus on what the community cares about most and avoid constantly changing our plans later. When opportunities come up—like new development or infrastructure upgrades—this plan will help make sure those projects work together toward the same vision for the future.

So, what can you expect on August 14?

• A chance to view and comment on early concepts

• Conversations with planners and project staff

• A flexible, drop-in format—no formal presentations

• An open invitation to help shape the next phase of the plan

We hope to see you there and to hear your feedback on this exciting vision for the Poudre River in Greeley!
