Colorado awarded $13.3 million for infrastructure upgrades
On Feb. 26, 2026, the Governor’s Office announced that the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, in partnership with Colorado Energy Office and Colorado Department of Transportation, awarded over $13.3 million total from the inaugural Transit Oriented Communities Infrastructure grant.
The awards will aid four communities in upgrading infrastructure that will support up to 720 units of affordable housing. Additionally, three of the projects advance crucial transit infrastructure that support ridership of rapid bus transit and light rail.
“Building more housing Coloradans can afford near transit centers is an important way to increase housing options, protect our environment and save Coloradans time and money,” said Governor Jared Polis. “These investments will help local communities embrace new housing near transportation options and increase the quality of life for Coloradans. We have taken historic actions in Colorado to remove government barriers that block new housing from being built and I am thrilled to see these laws in action, helping build more homes Coloradans can afford.”
