Denver voters may soon choose whether to let the city take out a $400 million bond to fund numerous infrastructure projects as part of a long-term COVID-19 recovery plan.
The city announced the proposed general obligation (GO) bond in April and the Denver City Council is set to begin voting on the proposal later this month. If approved by council and the mayor, voters will see the bond on the ballot in November.
The proposed bond is one of Denverâs many COVID-19 relief efforts. The Department of Finance says there is still $375 million left from the cityâs last general obligation bond Elevate Denver which passed in 2017.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. An event to keep kids out of trouble was in full swing Friday night all across Memphis.
It’s called “Safe Summer”, an initiative put together by several groups, including non-profit Memphis Gunned Down. The goal is to keep community centers open late on Friday nights to give children fun, safe and positive things to do.
Nina Allen-Johnson is with Memphis Gunned Down.
“We have art, entertainment. We have Zumba. We feed them. They have bounce houses,” she said.
The event, which started in 2012, is held every Friday night in July at seven community centers across the city, including the Orange Mound Community Center on Park Avenue, where ninth grader Nehemiah Mason was hanging out Friday.
