Denver Mayor Mike Johnston on Thursday unveiled a tight budget proposal for the 2025 fiscal year. At $1.76 billion, it’s only slighter bigger than last year’s budget of $1.74 billion. It’s also the smallest increase in over a decade, according to the mayor.“Like every American city, Denver faces headwinds from an uncertain national economic environment and the end of one-time federal ARPA funds,” Johnston said.
'The mayor’s budget calls for increased spending in other areas, such as workforce development, expanding affordable housing and revitalizing downtown.“About 25% of the city's jobs are downtown. That means the revival of downtown is not just important to the folks that live there or go there, it is the important to the folks that work there,” said Johnston.
