Arvada Urban Renewal AURA revitalizes underutilized areas of Arvada, guided by a community vision that adapts to evolving challenges.

Arvada Urban Renewal Authority (AURA) is responsible for revitalizing urban areas designated throughout the community by creating successful, high-quality projects that will help produce a vibrant cohesive city and enhance the quality of life for the citizens of Arvada. AURA is an independent body, corporate and politic under the State of Colorado law and governed by a seven member volunteer board appointed by the Mayor and approved by the City Council. The Board works under a common vision dictated by the legally approved urban renewal plan. Under state law, AURA is charged with assisting the City in eliminating and preventing the occurrence of blight. To carry out this mandate, AURA works in collaboration with elected officials, city administrators, private developers, financing sources, as well as the community.

Last week, AURA Executive Director Carrie Briscoe, with the City of Arvada’s Planning team, led a Downtown Colorado, Inc. & Colorado Municipal League Metro Mobile Tour, showcasing the Ralston Fields Urban Renewal Area and Olde Town. Local government staff and consultants from around the Denver metro area spent the morning learning about urban renewal and community development in Arvada, before heading to Denver to learn about the South Broadway General Improvement District.
