These transformational investments will touch every part of our daily lives – from the roads we drive on and the parks we play in, to the libraries, health centers and shelters that strengthen our communities. Thank you to the voters of Denver, and every volunteer, community partner and resident who shared their voice, their time and their belief in what’s possible for Denver. Together, we’re building a stronger, more connected, and more vibrant city for generations to come.”
