Voter-Approved Five-Year Program

Five Projects. Five Years. One Penny. 

5 Projects 5 Years Your Dollars At Work logo

In 2013, Commerce City voters approved a 1-percent sales and use tax increase for the construction, operations, and maintenance of new parks, recreation and road projects. The ballot measure was a result of a two-year, community-driven process to identify how to implement programs and services that address growing population needs, achieve vision, and build a better Commerce City.

The ballot measure identified five specific projects that would be delivered to residents by Jan. 1, 2019:

Three new neighborhood parks

New outdoor leisure pool

  • Paradice Island at Pioneer Park: Completed July 10, 2015

New recreation center (Bison Ridge Recreation Center)

Additions to the existing recreation center (Eagle Pointe Recreation Center)

Widening of Tower Road

The city delivered these voter-approved projects on schedule and within budget, with the following goals in mind:

  • Build high quality facilities to lower their long-term maintenance costs
  • Spend taxpayer dollars wisely and transparently
  • Complete projects on time
