State Of The Cities
10:30 am - 1:00 pm
As the Metro Denver community continues to grow, so do the complexities that come with local priorities. This year, help provide direct input that could influence local policies by joining us at State of the Cities! You will engage in direct conversations about housing, sustainability and economic competitiveness in a unique setting, facilitated by representatives from the Metro Mayors Caucus and other former and current elected leaders. These conversations will explore the specific challenges and strengths that the region’s businesses are facing, and allow you to give your perspectives and insights directly to the leaders of our communities.
In addition to our community discussions, we will hear from the Mayor of the City and County of Denver, Mike Johnston, for a discussion on his first year in office and the importance of collaboration across our region. This event is an excellent opportunity to gain an understanding of the wide variety of policy issues that impact all of our communities and their residents.
