WHO WE ARE

P3 is an organization that works to enhance parker through collaboration and investment in the community.

P3 brings together developers, residents, and local government to encourage projects that improve the community

  • P3, like all urban renewal areas in Colorado, is governed by state statute. This clearly defines what the URA can and can’t do. What can URA’s do? 

    • Sue/Be Sued 

    • Undertake projects and negotiate, enter into contracts 

    • Develop appropriate regulations for buildings and land use 

    • Survey and study blighted areas 

    • Borrow and invest funds 

    • Condemn property 

    • Acquire, rent and lease, manage and dispose of property 

    • Compensate individuals and businesses for relocation impacts 

    • Work with the Town on planning, platting, zoning, and rezoning parcels in the URA 

    • Arrange for the construction and/or repair of streets, utilities, or other facilities

  • When the Town of Parker created P3 (Parker Authority for Reinvestment) in 2006, Colorado State Statutes provided two Urban Renewal Boards options. 

    1. Mayor and Town Council can serve as the Authority Board. 

    2. Mayor and Town Council can appoint members to serve as the Authority Board. 

    At the time, the Mayor and Town Council determined that the Mayor and Town Council would serve as the Authority Board. This gives oversight to the URA.

ENHANCEMENT 

P3 is dedicated to improving and progressing Parker while maintaining the community’s small-town feel and high quality of life.

P3 projects are public/private partnerships that include improvements to public spaces and amenities. P3 collects thoughtful community feedback and integrates it into final plans.
