Arvada Urban Renewal Authority (Aura)

The Arvada Urban Renewal Authority is responsible for revitalizing three distinct urban renewal districts - Ralston Fields, Village Commons, and Jefferson Center. AURA also considers the establishment of future districts.  AURA partners with private developers, business and property owners, neighborhood groups, and the City of Arvada to redevelop areas within the community and provide strong, vibrant retail, residential and office opportunities. The Board of Commissioners meets on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. This is a volunteer appointment. Terms are for five years.
