The heart of this project is the volunteer stakeholders who will work to improve understanding, foster cooperation and promote bold new ideas. The Community Foundation of Northern Colorado is the convener and coordinator of the initiative supporting the efforts of over 150 community volunteers.

There are four key institutions critically important to the success of this initiative: City of Fort Collins, Colorado State University, Community Foundation of Northern Colorado and Downtown Development Authority. Added to this institutional strength is a broad cross-section of people with a diversity of private, public, for-profit and non-profit interests. With over 30 years of history in Fort Collins, the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado will play the key role in bringing these groups and individuals together, and is uniquely positioned to serve as a neutral convener of the diverse perspectives.
