The city of Denver is looking for public feedback on the future improvements that will be made to the Civic Center over the next 100 years.

Officials from the city and the Civic Center Conservancy announced “Civic Center Next 100,” a project that will elevate and renew the Civic Center as the heart of Denver for the next 100 years.

“We must continue to imagine and build a new sustainable future for our Downtown parks and public spaces through social, cultural and economic investments,” said Happy Haynes, executive director of Parks and Recreation

“This effort supports The Outdoor Downtown Masterplan focused on investment in downtown parks and public spaces toe dance the quality of life, and create a sustainable vibrant downtown that is economically healthy and growing.”

Denver residents are invited to learn more about Civic Center’s history and share feedback about the future design in the first of three workshops that will be held Thursday at 5:30 p.m. over Zoom. 

Future designs include improvements to four key areas within the park, including, the Greek Theater, Central Promenade, Central Gathering Space and Bannock Street between Colfax and 14th avenues.

“Civic Center is where government, culture, commerce and community collide,” said Civic Center Conservancy Executive Director Eric Lazzari. “It’s important that as we bring the 2005 Civic Center Master Plan to life and that we hear from our local community in the process.”

“Civic Center Next 100” concept designed was funded by a voter approved Elevate Denver Bond Program, but throughout the workshops, officials hope to develop the final concept plan by this fall.

“We look forward to his first workshop where collaboration will be key to our success moving forward,” said Lazzari.
