On Nov. 4, 2025, voters within the proposed district boundaries approved creating the Aurora Downtown Development Authority (DDA).

The new DDA will play a key role in implementing the Colfax Community Vision & Action Plan, advancing projects, programs and investments that support the corridor's revitalization.

Later this year, the City Council will consider formally approving the plan at their regular meeting and start the 30-year Tax Increment Financing (TIF) period.
