The City of Castle Pines is pleased to announce the online application process to request financial assistance from the newly formed Castle Pines Urban Renewal Authority (CPURA). The City formed an urban renewal authority in 2023 to support investment in the Castle Pines Village Square area by existing businesses and property owners.
“The City of Castle Pines is honored to support our property and business owners in their desires to invest and improve the Village Square. We look forward to an improved road system and maintenance, driven by the City. We also hope to see investments by property and business owners to enhance the physical environment with beautification, increased accessibility, and other improvements that will make the area better for business.” said Michael Penny, City Manager.
CPURA will utilize tax increment financing to reinvest existing taxes into the Village Square. The effort will focus on helping private sector investors who want to enhance their properties with improvements to existing properties and infrastructure, to incentivize top-tier and intentional development, and to add to the sense of community in Castle Pines Village Square. The City invites tenants and property owners to learn more at an information session on Wednesday, October 30, at 7:30 AM at the Castle Pines Library Event Hall or virtually on Wednesday, November 6, at 6:30 p.m. More information about the information sessions can be found at CastlePinesCO.gov/CPURA.

Xcel Energy is rebuilding approximately 25 miles of 115-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines connecting the Palmer Lake, Castle Rock, Crowfoot Valley, Happy Canyon, and Daniels Park substations in Douglas County. This includes work on the lines that go through the City of Castle Pines. The transmission lines were originally built in the 1950s. Due to natural weathering and the overall age of structures, they have reached the end of their useful life and must be replaced. New infrastructure will improve electric service reliability to homes and businesses in the region, proactively reduce the risk of damage from wildfire and help meet the growing energy needs of homes and businesses for years to come.
Construction will take place within Xcel Energy’s existing right-of-way. The project will be completed in several phases. The first phase, between the Palmer Lake and Castle Rock substations was completed in Spring of 2024. The second phase, which includes rebuilding the line between the Happy Canyon and Daniels Park substations will begin in October 2024. Survey and staking work for segments between the Happy Canyon and Castle Rock substations took place in summer 2024 with construction work beginning in early 2025. All Work should be completed by the end of 2025.
Visit the Xcel Energy project webpage for more information or to contact the project team with questions.

Have fun with your leaves, jump on them in piles, or re-use them in bags for Halloween props to help us crush them! Next, bring the leaves in large paper bags that you will keep after emptying your leaves. No bags will be accepted at the event. All leaves will be dumped out of bags.
Leaves are collected and used by local farms as a soil amendment and need to be as clean as possible. No garden waste, large brush, branches, or tree stumps are accepted as part of the leaf collection event (no commercial landscaping).
The event is free to Castle Pines residents!
