What:

Metro Vision is the Denver region's plan to protect and enhance quality of life by guiding growth, transportation and environmental quality into the future.  The Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) adopted the original one-page vision statement that is the foundation of the Metro Vision plan in 1992.  Now 20 years later, DRCOG is conducting a major update of the plan to address new challenges and opportunities facing the region.
