The City of Greeley (COG) is committed to serving its residents through transparent, effective, and efficient operational practices and long-term strategic planning.
With a balanced perspective for serving residents now and planning for the community's future, Greeley City Council and leadership have created a blueprint (a strategic plan) of the most important work that will help us be a leading municipal government across the state.
Greeley is a city that knows where it came from and where it is going. With a clear picture of who we are and pride in our roots, the Greeley City Council 2037 vision honors the strength, bountiful resources, diversity, entrepreneurial and creative spirit that is Greeley now and in the future.
Greeley will be a future-focused city. One that is intentionally developed, safe, affordable, innovative, sustainable, healthy, and inclusive. Seven Key Focus Areas will guide the work that will affirm Greeley as a place where people choose to make their dreams come true and call home:
- Business Growth
- Community Vitality
- High Performance Government
- Housing For All
- Quality of Life Amenities
- Safe & Secure Communities
- Sustainable Infrastructure and Mobility
Where people grow up and live impacts their educational attainment, health disparities, career opportunities, and creation of general wealth.
In April 1968, Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968- commonly known as the Federal Fair Housing Act- was passed just days after the assassination of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Fair Housing is essential to the ethical commitment of the city and plays a central role in our community. The impact of historical discrimination persists to this day and such inequities limit the availability and stability of housing. The laws of this nation, our state, and the City of Greeley seek to ensure such equality of choice for all transactions involving renting or buying a home, receiving a mortgage, seeking housing assistance, and engaging in other housing related activities.
