The City of Fort Collins proposes Ordinance No. 187, 2025, to appropriate $9.5 million from the Community Capital Improvement Project Fund to finance the design and construction of the Southeast Community Center, a LEED Gold certified recreation facility in southeast Fort Collins, along with an Art in Public Places program. The project builds on over 11 years of planning, including a 2013 feasibility study and voter approval in April 2015 of a ¼-cent CCIP sales tax and November 2023 approval of a ½-cent 2050 sales tax earmarked for recreation and pool facilities. The city secured $2 million in state grant funding from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs Climate Resilience Challenge program in November 2025 to support LEED Gold construction standards. The facility will be jointly developed through an intergovernmental agreement with the Poudre School District and Poudre River Public Library District, with construction to occur on PSD land pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement executed in April 2024. Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance on First Reading.
