Denver Urban Renewal Authority

Financed through a combination of public and private investment, including tax increment financing (TIF), which allows the Denver Urban Renewal Authority to use the net new tax revenues generated by the redevelopment to help finance the project, DURA has overseen more than 28 redevelopment projects and has invested more than $500 million in public funds. DURA has redeveloped 3 neighborhood shopping centers, renovated 4 vacant department stores, saved 11 historic structures, and has helped more than 15,000 homeowners with Emergency Home Repair and Single Family Rehabilitation housing programs.
