We still need to hold the new developer accountable to the goals in Forest City’s contract with the city of Denver, legally obligating them to build 10 percent of for-sale units as affordable housing reasonably on pace with market rate homes. Promote the community as originally intended; an environmentally friendly, walk-able neighborhood in Denver, with a range of housing and job types, and an emphasis on inclusiveness.
Forest City is reevaluating their signage program in 2017.

We aren’t pointing a finger at these businesses or labeling them as bigots. We simply want to celebrate those who removed the name and put together a team to help support businesses who are considering removing the name.
