- Smart, Responsible Growth
Because Colorado Springs is a great place to live, we will continue to grow. The challenge is how we manage this inevitable growth. Growth needs to be responsible, reasonable, predictable, and sustainable. We can and should encourage smart growth by optimizing our resources – water, energy, and infrastructure (including transportation) - to guide development to locations that are most appropriate for expansion. Growth that is
planned, thoughtful, and considers a regional approach makes for the most efficient use of city resources. - Public Safety We all deserve to live in a safe, welcoming community. Robust law enforcement is paramount but public safety extends beyond policing. We must prioritize firm as well as compassionate homeless solutions, funding for efficient transportation infrastructure, and ensure our neighborhoods are protected from natural hazards including wildfires and weather emergencies. It’s also important to foster regional partnerships, like the one with the Office of Emergency Management, to focus on improving these partnerships and outcomes.
- Economic Development The primary role of city government is to establish and maintain a favorable business climate where employers see a cost effective place to conduct business and a place where their employees want to live. Smart, responsible growth includes addressing the need for not only affordable but attainable housing and providing the core services that directly affect citizens’ quality of life Addressing costly regulation and overreach is one way to influence affordability. Colorado Springs deserves a city government that delivers big city services with small town service.
