Housing, schools, public safety, trails and commercial are all moving forward together.

Episode Highlights:

Highlands at Clear Creek: Final plat approved for a 50-lot neighborhood on about 16.7 acres, connecting to the trail system and future Centennial Park.
Canyon Ridge: Final plan approved for the multifamily portion near K-10 and Canyon Creek Boulevard.
Education Investment: USD 232's Cedar Trails Exploration Center expansion on Mize Boulevard.
