“Amidst the feeling of chaos and unpredictability in our federal government right now, our message to Denverites is clear: we’re focused on delivering the best services for our residents, and we’re not slowing down,” said Mayor Mike Johnston. “Our 2025 goals build on our successes to date in an effort to make Denver the best place in America to work, live, play, and raise a family. In Denver, we say our toughest problems are solvable and we are the ones to solve them, and with these goals as our North Star, we’re prepared to spend the year building a Denver that is truly vibrant, affordable, and safe for everyone.”
The 2025 citywide goals encompass six priorities: Vibrant, Affordable, Safe, All In Mile High, Climate Resilient, and Family Friendly.
Throughout the first year and a half of the Johnston Administration, Denver has focused on breaking down barriers and increasing coordination throughout the city to deliver real results for Denverites. Building on this historic progress made in 2024, the new 2025 citywide goals put all city agencies on the same path to transform Denver and deliver world-class services to residents.
