Keep Greeley Moving
The City of Greeley is responsible for maintaining more than 850 lane miles of roadway and 700 miles of curb, gutter and sidewalk in Greeley. Ongoing maintenance keeps everyone in Greeley moving through our community safely.
This important work is possible thanks to the “Keep Greeley Moving” .65% infrastructure tax, which provides funding for transportation-related repairs, improvements and construction in our city. First adopted in 2015, the tax must be renewed every seven years.
By paying 65 cents in sales tax on every $100 spent on all purchases excluding groceries, the City of Greeley is able to perform important repairs as well as conduct major road improvements to help Greeley keep pace with its growing population. Learn more about projects supported by this tax.
