Greeley Demands Better Applauds City Council for Setting February 24 Vote on Cascadia PUD Repeal

Citizen-led effort clears final hurdle after volunteers collected signatures twice to ensure public voice

Greeley, Colo. (December 2, 2025) 

Tonight, Greeley Demands Better celebrates the City Council’s vote to officially schedule the election on February 24, 2026, for residents to decide whether to repeal Ordinance 30, the controversial Cascadia/Catalyst Planned Unit Development zoning change.

The decision marks a major milestone in a months-long effort by Greeley residents to protect transparent governance and demand accountability from city leadership. Volunteers gathered signatures twice, overcoming procedural obstacles and repeated attempts to sideline the public’s role in the city’s land-use decisions.

“We are grateful the City Council chose to listen to the will of the people,” said Rhonda Solis, Co-Chair of Greeley Demands Better. “Greeley residents worked tirelessly—through delays, legal challenges and every hurdle imaginable—to make sure their voices were honored. Tonight, democracy prevailed.”

The February 24 election represents the community’s first opportunity to vote directly on the Cascadia/Catalyst project, which was approved without broad public involvement and without resolving major concerns about financing, traffic impacts, affordability, and water.

“This vote didn’t happen because developers wanted it. It happened because Greeley citizens refused to back down,” said Brandon Wark, Co-Chair of Greeley Demands Better. “We look forward to giving voters the transparent, fact-based information they deserve before they decide the future of their city.”

Greeley Demands Better will continue its community education and outreach throughout the coming months to ensure every resident is informed, engaged, and empowered ahead of the February election.
