Dog Track Acquired... Redevelopment Planned

The Commerce City Urban Renewal Authority (URA) recently purchased the former Mile High Greyhound Park property for $3.3 million and will soon start planning a mixed-use development for the 65-acre site. Bounded by 64th Avenue to the north, 62nd Avenue to the south, Holly Street to the east and Dahlia Street to the west, the property offers access to several highways and connectivity to the heart of historic Commerce City.

The next phase in the process is to gather community input on the site’s redevelopment. Starting next month, the URA will host a series of public meetings to encourage input from citizens, business owners and local community organizations. The goal is to have a redevelopment plan in place by late spring 2012 to share with the community and potential developers.

The schedule of public meetings is as follows:

Residents –
• Thursday, Sept. 8: 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Commerce City Recreation Center
• Saturday, Oct. 15: 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at the Commerce City Recreation Center
• Wednesday, Nov. 16: 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Commerce City Civic Center, City Council Chambers

Businesses -
• Tuesday, Sept. 13: 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. at the Buffalo Run Golf Course, 15700 E. 112th Ave.
• Tuesday, Oct. 4: 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Commerce City Parks & Recreation Center
• Tuesday, Nov. 8: 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Commerce City Parks & Recreation Center
