Title
Derby Downtown District
Body
Summary & Background
Derby, one of the original small-town communities in Adams County, holds a unique historical significance dating back to 1889. The area's rapid development between the 1940s and 1950s, largely due to its proximity to the U.S. Army Rocky Mountain Arsenal and Stapleton Airport, is a testament to its importance. In 1962, Derby merged with Commerce Town to form Commerce City, further adding to its historical legacy.
The City has always recognized the historical value of the area. This commitment was further solidified with the adoption of the Derby Master Revitalization Plan and Design Standards in 2007, a clear sign of the city's dedication to preserving its rich history.
Staff is seeking input on improvement and development projects.
