Subcommittees & Executive Committee

The Vibrant Denver bond program empowers communities to take an active role in shaping and preparing Denver for the future. Bond project ideas have been submitted by communities, city agencies based on the 2025-2030 Capital Improvement Plan, and organizations across Denver. These ideas will be reviewed and evaluated by community-led subcommittees. Subcommittees will place these projects in recommended tiers, which will then be referred to an executive committee for final evaluation before the full bond package is presented to the Mayor, then sent to Denver City Council for possible inclusion on the November ballot.

Orientation for all subcommittees was held on April 10, 2025. Orientation covered process, criteria, and timeline, among other topics.
