Northglenn initiates community engagement for Marketplace redevelopment project

Northglenn is set to enhance community engagement as it embarks on a revitalization project for its Marketplace area. During a recent City Council Study Session, officials announced a shift from traditional open houses to more accessible pop-up events, starting with neighborhood nights in July and continuing through August. This change aims to better connect with residents, acknowledging that busy schedules often limit attendance at conventional meetings.

The new engagement strategy will also include online surveys and both in-person and virtual meetings with stakeholders, including business owners. City officials emphasized the importance of gathering quick and valuable feedback from the community to shape the future vision for the Marketplace.

As part of the planning process, council members were encouraged to explore successful town center models, such as Crocker Park in Ohio and Legacy West in Texas. These examples will serve as inspiration for creating a vibrant and economically beneficial space in Northglenn.

The project timeline outlines a comprehensive approach, beginning with an analysis of existing conditions and community engagement activities that will run until January 2026. Following this phase, the city will develop land use scenarios based on community input, with the goal of adopting a final plan by October 2026.

Next steps include launching an online survey and coordinating with stakeholders to establish goals and a vision for the Marketplace revitalization. This initiative represents a significant opportunity for Northglenn to enhance its community spaces and attract regional retailers, ultimately fostering a stronger sense of place for residents.
