Golden Vision 2030 Golden, CO

Involving citizens in the planning process is nothing new in Golden, Colorado, but Golden Vision 2030 (GV 2030) is taking community involvement to new heights. Golden’s population grew more than 30 percent between 1990 and 2000, presenting challenges of walkability, community engagement and housing affordability. With further growth projected for the future, Golden wanted to proactively involve the entire community in discussing potential challenges.

As part of Golden 2030, residents came out by the thousands to discuss the future of their city at storytelling events such as block parties, chili socials, group story circuits and festivals as well as group story listening and community summits. The values identified by the process will serve as the starting point and philosophical guide for future comprehensive plan updates, neighborhood plans, land use decisions, code changes and community investment decisions.
