FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Fort Collins is pioneering a new model of public decision-making as its Civic Assembly continues deliberations this weekend on the future of the former Hughes Stadium site.
The assembly—comprised of 20 residents selected through a democratic lottery to reflect the city’s diversity—is evaluating how best to use the 165-acre parcel of city-owned land. Its process is designed to reflect deep civic engagement, mirroring the structure of a jury rather than a traditional public meeting.
“I can’t wait to see the thoughtful discussions, fresh ideas, and collaborative spirit that will emerge from this innovative process,” said Fort Collins Mayor Jeni Arndt.
