From “What River” to River Vision

SOUTH PLATTE RIVER GETTING $30 MILLION UPGRADE!

Thanks for the article, Confluence Denver! 

There are incredible changes going on in and along the South Platte River throughout Denver! Greenway’s River Vision Improvement Plan has invested over $30 million into urban river restoration. As our associate director Jolon Clark states, the ultimate goal “is a South Platte River that’s swimmable, boatable, recreationally vibrant and ecologically sound.” Many projects are underway, and there is still more to come! Want to know more about river improvements and the RVIP? You can read more about The Greenway Foundation’s past, present, and future in the article here!
