Welcome to
One Community Project
The City of Leadville and Lake County are thrilled to announce the launch of the One Community Project, a year-long initiative designed to create a shared vision and comprehensive plan for the future of Leadville and Lake County.
The One Community Project will bring together everyone who loves and lives in Leadville and Lake County. Whether you’ve been here for generations or just joined our community, your voice matters. We’re creating a shared vision and a practical plan for the future—a future that celebrates our resilience, strengthens local opportunity, and preserves what makes our community special.

Why Are We Doing This?
State statutes require municipalities to develop and maintain a comprehensive plan, which sets the foundation for local regulations and is critical for securing public funding and grants. The County and City are committed to creating a plan that is responsive to community input and feedback. This project will help us address important questions: How can we support local businesses? How do we make housing more affordable? How can we keep our neighborhoods safe and our roads and sidewalks in good shape? And most importantly—how can we make sure our community is a place where everyone feels they belong?
Our community is changing, with more visitors, growing economic pressures, and new challenges. The One Community Project is our chance to shape that change, ensuring that the character and values of Leadville and Lake County remain strong and vibrant.

Engagement Tracker
We officially met our community engagement goal for the “Assess” phase of the project!
From January to April 2025, we asked community members what they love most about Leadville and Lake County, as well as their fears and hopes for the future. Thank YOU to the hundreds of locals who helped us collect more than 800 points of insight through values surveys, small group conversations, and one-on-one interviews.
We are now collecting feedback on draft values statements. These Values are meant to reflect the spirit of Leadville and Lake County. Help us reach our goal of collecting feedback from at least 200 community members by the end of June!

Engagement Goal vs. Actual
To date, we are about 75% of the way to our community engagement goal for this phase of the project.
We are stoked about how much of the community has gotten involved so far – but there are still lots of conversations to have and opportunities to get involved. The great thing about this process is that it is NEVER to late to get involved for the first time. Help us reach our goal of engaging at least 700 community members by the end of March!
