Denver’s proposed 2027 budget will avoid layoffs and furloughs, ensuring continued services for District 10 residents. The $1.68 billion budget plan, which includes employee raises and infrastructure improvements like bridge repairs, is supported by a forecasted 1.1% revenue growth fueled by higher sales tax collections.
