Greeley Voters Vote No on Ballot Measure 2F

City will review capital project priorities; West Greeley Catalyst project remains paused

GREELEY, Colo. — Greeley voters did not approve Ballot Measure 2F in the November 3 election, according to unofficial results released earlier today. The measure received 19,159 votes against and 8,229 votes in favor.

The measure would have authorized a 0.6% sales and use tax increase, excluding grocery food purchases.

The City estimated the measure would generate about $20 million in its first year. The revenue was proposed to support the Downtown Civic Campus, the West Greeley Catalyst Project, recreation, cultural and service facilities, and parks and outdoor spaces.

Without the new revenue, the City will not receive the funding proposed through Measure 2F. The City will need to continue directing the majority of Quality of Life and Food Tax revenues to payments related to the Civic Campus and West Greeley Catalyst projects, as discussed in the July 28, 2026, council work session. Less funding will be available for other capital improvement needs, including parks, recreation facilities, and maintenance.

“We respect the decision of Greeley voters,” Mayor Dall Hall said. “We also understand this was always going to be a difficult decision for voters, especially in the current economic environment. Our focus now is to make responsible choices, meet the City’s commitments and be clear with the community about the tradeoffs ahead.”

The West Greeley Catalyst project remains on pause while the City works to identify a financial partner. City staff will continue to evaluate available options and will provide updates as that work progresses.

“Without the additional revenue proposed in Measure 2F, the City must make difficult choices about the timing and scope of capital projects, including needed maintenance on our parks and facilities,” City Manager Brian McBroom said. “We will continue to manage City resources carefully, protect essential services and work with City Council and the community to set clear priorities.”

City staff will review the impacts of the election outcome as part of the City’s financial planning and capital improvement process. The City will share updates with the community during future City Council meetings and work sessions.
