The Downtown Denver Partnership is committed to building an economically healthy, resilient, and vibrant center city for the benefit of all. We advocate for a policy landscape that supports a thriving, well-connected and economically competitive downtown. And no matter the size or scale, we understand that elections have the power to significantly impact our city and state and the critical importance of casting an educated vote – every time. ? This morning, our Member Assembly, hosted by Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, brought together key representatives of four key ballot measures on the Denver Ballot to talk more about how these measures, if passed, will shape the future of our center city. Thank you to everyone who joined us and if you missed this panel, check out our ballot guide to help you navigate the ballot questions and issues you’ll be asked to vote on during this election: https://lnkd.in/g-grE-Rw

With a historic 26 measures on Denver's November 2024 ballot, casting an educated vote has never been so important. The Downtown Denver Partnership recently released our Ballot Guide that outlines the seven positions we've taken on measures this election cycle and provides overviews of every question that Denverites will decide on this November. One of our key priorities is reflected on the ballot. Measure 6A asks those who own, lease, or rent property within Union Stations and Market Station in downtown to approve the renewal and expansion of the Downtown Denver Development Authority (DDDA). The DDDA is critical to ensuring our city’s growth and revitalization. The time is now to renew this important tool for Downtown Denver. We can create a future where everyone benefits through catalytic projects like parks and public spaces, housing options, neighborhood and family amenities, and so much more. If you’re eligible to vote on 6A, we hope you’ll join us in supporting the measure and, if it’s not on your ballot, please help us encourage eligible electors to help us pass this measure that is critical to the future of downtown.
