About the Project
In January 2024, The City and Sustainable Wheat Ridge, kicked-off a project to update the City’s Sustainability Action Plan. The original 2018 Sustainability Action Plan was community-driven, a collective action taken on behalf of the Sustainable Wheat Ridge Committee.
The updated plan aims to:
1) Highlight the sustainability progress that Wheat Ridge has already made.
2) Understand the vision that Wheat Ridge residents have for the current and future vibrancy of Wheat Ridge.
3) Be formally adopted by City Council. The plan is scheduled to be completed by the end of summer 2024 and will be a 5-year roadmap for Wheat Ridge.
Project Goals
To identify actionable, impactful strategies for Wheat Ridge to improve the following areas:

Communications and Engagement
Businesses and Jobs
Arts and Cultures
Renewable Energy
In addition, this project aims to empower residents, businesses, and city staff to take part in creating a more sustainable, vibrant Wheat Ridge through the creation of a 5-year sustainability roadmap.
