Our Mission

The mission of the Colorado Springs Urban Renewal Authority is to transform areas throughout Colorado Springs by forging strategic partnerships, catalyzing development with community benefit, and creating long-term value.

Our Philosophy

1. Capture and leverage new dollars from creation and enhancement of projects in blighted areas that the market would not otherwise deliver.
2. Facilitate high-impact development and enhancement of places, neighborhoods, and districts that contribute to quality, sustainable environments where people live, work and come together as a community.
3. Advance fiscally prudent and culturally sensitive urban planning and design aligned with the City's plans and policies.
