In 2024, the Aurora City Council established an Infrastructure Task Force to evaluate and develop a long-term 10-year strategic plan for infrastructure investment that aligns with the city’s overall goals and objectives. The committee will:

• Develop a short-term, mid-term, and long-term phased strategic plan for the efficient allocation of resources to support city capital improvement needs.
• Establish criteria for prioritizing city infrastructure needs based on factors such as urgency, impact, feasibility, and alignment with strategic goals.
• Foster effective communication and collaboration with internal and external stakeholders, including business and community groups, industry partners, and the public.
• Engage with Aurora residents through a variety of methods to understand their infrastructure needs, preferences, and concerns, and incorporate their input into recommendations.
• Review funding options that support sustainable infrastructure development and ongoing capital maintenance.

The Task Force will be led by two members of City Council and composed of eight to 10 representatives from different sectors and disciplines appointed by City Council.
