A new way to connect

Do you want to share your thoughts on city projects and programs, or ask questions about what’s happening around the city, but have a hard time fitting a bunch of public meetings into your schedule? Come to SpeakUp Commerce City, a new type of interactive event that makes it easy to connect with city staff and elected officials.

Instead of a formal meeting, SpeakUp Commerce City offers a casual, drop-in format where you can explore what interests you. Stop by different tables to provide input on projects or programs, learn about city services, and ask questions. If you don’t have specific issues in mind, bring your curiosity and find out what’s new, or chat with a City Council member about what’s happening in your neighborhood.
