Want more transparency about the city’s financial plans? We have a town hall for you!
Commerce City is fully committed to budgeting responsibly and maintaining a sustainable financial outlook for the future. As our community continues to grow and the cost of providing services rises, the city is taking a deeper dive into long-term financial forecasting. This Long-Term Financial Planning effort will help the city go beyond the normal annual budgeting process to better project future trends and plan for long-term goals over the next decade.
Keeping the community informed and educated is a key part of this project, and we are collecting public feedback to make sure community priorities are always top of mind. Residents are invited to bring your curiosity and questions to a pair of town hall meetings to learn more about Long-Term Financial Plan:
Long-Term Financial Planning Town Halls
Tuesday, July 7 | Bison Ridge Recreation Center
Wednesday, July 8 | Eagle Pointe Recreation Center
5:30 – 7 p.m. (both events)
Town Halls will include an overview about Long-Term Financial Planning, along with group discussion topics such as how the city provides essential services, potential budget-balancing solutions for the future, and determining the plan’s long-term success. Join us to learn more and share your perspectives!

Residents will have a new opportunity to access free, fresh, locally grown produce this summer and fall thanks to a partnership between Commerce City’s Community Well-Being Division, Adams County, and Nativity Lutheran Church.
Beginning June 23, the organizations will provide free boxes of locally sourced produce to community members through October. The distributions will take place on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month from 2 to 4 p.m. at Nativity Lutheran Church, located at 12500 E. 104th Ave. The program is designed to increase access to healthy foods while connecting residents with fresh produce grown in Colorado and the surrounding region. The food boxes are available to all residents, regardless of income.
“With the cost of living increasing and reductions in SNAP benefits, partnerships like this help the city bring valuable resources directly into our neighborhoods,” said Paulina Ursua Garcia, Health & Food Equity Navigator. “Through collaboration with community partners, we are able to provide families and individuals with locally sourced, nutritious food while navigating changing landscapes.”
Registration is required for each distribution and opens approximately two weeks before each event. Residents can register by calling 720-769-1099 or emailing pgarcia@c3gov.com. For more information about the Community Well-Being Division efforts, visit c3gov.com/CWB.

As part of the E. 120th Avenue Widening Project, crews will install new traffic signal infrastructure on E. 120th Avenue at Chambers Road and E. Buckley Road. The work will support future roadway improvements and accommodate the widening of E. 120th Avenue.
The work schedule includes:
Motorists should expect brief closures and traffic control operations during construction. To help maintain traffic flow and safety through the work zone, the contractor will have a traffic control supervisor and flaggers on site throughout overnight operations.
Drivers are encouraged to use caution, follow posted signage, and allow extra travel time when traveling through the area during construction hours.
The E. 120th Avenue Improvement Project (from Chambers Road to Buckley Road) is being managed by the Buffalo Ridge Metro District. Commerce City is a financial partner in this project.
