Get Involved
To make the planned City Heights development a reality, we need your support. While the project has officially been approved as part of a comprehensive public-comment portion of our development process, in 2010, there are still several permitting phases that you can help to expedite. We encourage input from the community in support of our plans to build diverse, creative neighborhoods and more than 125 acres of green, open space with a new and improved public-access trail system and a host of outdoor-recreation facilities.
Here’s How:
