Big Ideas = Big Community Involvement
The City of Golden has purchased 7.27 acres of land and the large building east of Ford Street along the Clear Creek Corridor which now gives the Golden community the opportunity to address several longstanding community goals. Those include enhancing civic and cultural community activities, realizing the potential of the creek corridor, and consolidating and improving municipal facilities and service delivery. This is an exciting legacy project for the city that will be successful with the engagement and input from our whole community. We look forward to hearing ideas and collectively brainstorming on what Golden's future will be! Make sure to follow along on
Guiding Golden for the newest information and opportunities to engage on this project!

Golden Mayor's Community Celebration - only ONE week away!
Join Golden Mayor Marjorie Sloan for the Mayor's Community Celebration.
This free event begins at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 30 at the Student Center on the Colorado School of Mines campus.
The night will begin with a performance from the Mines Band, led by Mines Music Director Robert Klimek. Then join the Mayor in recognizing Goldenites who have contributed greatly to making a difference in the community. Following the presentation of the awards, we are pleased to introduce Dr. Martín Carcasson as the evening's keynote speaker.
Martín Carcasson, Ph.D., is a professor in the Communication Studies department of Colorado State University (CSU), and the founder and director of the CSU Center for Public Deliberation (CPD). Dr. Carcasson's research focuses on helping local communities address "wicked problems" more productively through improved public communication, community problem solving, and collaborative decision-making. The CPD is a practical, applied extension of his work, and functions as an impartial resource dedicated to enhancing local democracy in Northern Colorado. Dr. Carcasson and his staff train students to serve as impartial facilitators, who then work with local governments, school boards, and community organizations to design, facilitate, and report on innovative projects and events on key community issues.
Dr. Carcasson will talk about how conversations between neighbors, and strong community dedication to deliberate engagement, can result in respectful and collaborative community results.
There is no need to RSVP for this free event. Simply come and celebrate the contributions of members of the Golden community!
