Town of Parachute

On January 18, 2024, the Town of Parachute received a Citizen’s Petition indicating the need for an Urban Renewal Authority within the municipality. Urban renewal is a tool used by local governments across the country that can help address the deterioration and conditions of blight within urban areas. Urban renewal can be used for development and rehabilitation when blighted conditions act as a barrier. It is a method for restoring economic vitality and improving the health and safety of urban areas. With the submission of this petition, the Council embarked on a significant process to determine the best course of action for the Town. We invite you to join us on this journey to enhance and revitalize our community!
