Jefferson County Community Development Draft 2010 – 2014 Strategic Plan
Jefferson County Community Development is developing a five-year Strategic Plan as a requirement of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to qualify for the Community Development Block Grant and the HOME Investment Partnerships Program. The Strategic Plan is a comprehensive planning document that identifies the overall housing and community development needs within the Urban County.  The Urban County includes the Cities of Edgewater, Golden and Wheat Ridge, the Towns of Lakeside and Mountain View, and Unincorporated Jefferson County. 

All interested agencies, groups or persons wishing to comment on the Jefferson County Strategic Plan are invited to submit written comments for consideration to Emily Sander at esander@jeffco.us or to the Community Development Department, 100 Jefferson County Parkway, Suite 3530, Golden, Colorado 80401 no later than 5:00 p.m. on Friday, March 12, 2010.  All written comments received will be considered by Jefferson County Community Development prior to its submission of the Strategic Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
