Broomfield Town Square A Vision for the Future By Bette Erickson
As far back as the early 2000s, city planners and residents have looked forward to developing the acreage around the Civic Center. The continuing vision is to create a gathering place in the center of Broomfield where residents and visitors can congregate, have a meal, recreate, and perhaps provide a small number of residences. Former Deputy City and County Manager Kevin Standbridge said developers expect to break ground in late 2022 or early 2023 and it’s estimated to take some two years from the ground breaking to see significant progress.

The current proposal, dubbed Broomfield Town Square, includes about 43 acres with a pedestrian-oriented design, north of 120th Avenue between Main Street and Spader Way. The plan includes visions of a city plaza offering mixed-use amenities including restaurants, apartments, entertainment, and civic uses, and keeping the existing library and auditorium. To date, Broomfield has invested some $400,000 in civil engineering, consulting and design services to further the project.
