We are searching for two NEW Sustainable Neighborhoods!

In 2020, The City of Wheat Ridge joined Lakewood, Denver and Fort Collins as the newest member of the Sustainable Neighborhoods Network! Currently, Applewood Villages, Fruitdale, Panorama Park, and Paramount Heights are participating in the program and cover around 30% of the City.

The Sustainable Neighborhoods Program gives residents the opportunity to become active partners in building a vibrant and sustainable Wheat Ridge community. Neighborhoods participating in this unique certification program receive guidance and support from city staff to organize workshops, projects and events that enhance the livability of their neighborhoods and reduce residents' ecological footprints. Participating neighborhoods earn program credits and recognition from the community and the City.

The City of Wheat Ridge is looking for two new neighborhoods to join the program this summer!
