Exciting Times
This is an exciting time to be in Commerce City, Colorado. The Prairie Gateway development, changing face of 104th Avenue, and future commercial corridor on Tower Road and E-470 provide new and unique opportunities for the City.
Prairie Gateway
The first phase of the Prairie Gateway project is scheduled to open in the Spring of 2007. The Prairie Gateway is a 917-acre parcel of land located along the western edge of the Rocky Mountain National Wildlife Refuge. This parcel of land promises the home of the new City Civic and Justice Center, the location of the new MLS Soccer Stadium for the Colorado Rapids, the new Environmental Learning Center at the Rocky Mountian National Wildlife Refuge, youth sports fields, and a wealth of new retail and commercial space. More information can be found on the dedicated Prairie Gateway page.
