CREATION PROCESS & TIMELINE

GID Formation requires three procedural steps, two of which have been completed:

 

STEP 1: Petition Collection

COMPLETED

Petitions signed by Ballpark GID “electors” (i.e. owners of residential or commercial property and registered voters) were collected and submitted to the City of Denver in June 2024

STEP 2: City Council Approval and Ordinance

 

COMPLETED

City Council approved an ordinance allowing Ballpark petitioners to take the formation and funding of a Ballpark GID to voters in a November 2024 election

Step 3: Special Election

The final step in the formation process is a special mail ballot election to “electors” of the Ballpark GID. Ballots will be mailed to electors on October 14, 2024 and are due by 7:00 PM on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. A simple majority of ballots returned must be cast in favor for the GID to be established and funded.

If the election is successful, the GID will begin delivering services in early 2025.
