SUMMARY:
The city entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) 14-01.24 in May 2014 with MHFD (formerly known as Urban Drainage and Flood Control District) to fund design and construction of improvements at Reynolds Landing on the South Platte River. The city received a planning grant from Arapahoe County Open Space in 2019 to contribute to design of Phase 2 improvements at Reynolds Landing. The grant was received by the city. The design contract is administered by MHFD through its South Platte River capital improvement program.
