The City of Greeley has kicked off the Poudre River Restoration Initiative (PRRI), a project that will improve the health of the Poudre River, boost economic growth and enhance residents' access. Since the 1950s, the Poudre River in Greeley has faced challenges like flooding, bank erosion and increased sediments. PRRI will address these issues with a focus on: ● Better water quality ● More plants and wildlife ● Protecting infrastructure from floods ● Preserving the river's heritage ● Strengthening Greeley's economy This project is a collaboration between Greeley's Public Works, Water and Sewer, Natural Areas and Trails and expert partners like Inter-Fluve and Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates Inc., alongside key community stakeholders like Coalition for the Poudre River Watershed, Weld County Government and Colorado Parks and Wildlife. We're excited to see how this initiative will transform the Poudre River as a community anchor in Greeley. How do you want to enjoy the Poudre River in Greeley?

This is amazing I love to fly fish the river by the poudre ponds but access is limited. Lots of steep banks. Will your team be improving conditions for fly fishing the river? Do you need volunteer help? I would love to give back to this hobby I love so much.

Greeley has made great progress in becoming a wonderful city in the last 25 years. This project is another example of Greeley’ progress.
