Details:
Due to the sale of the Broncos Football Team, the City of Centennial is offering $900,000 in grant funding to support youth activity programs. The Metropolitan Football Stadium District was required to share a portion of the sale proceeds with local governments allowing the City to offer this opportunity.
Any projects seeking $10,000 or more require City Council approval. The funding received by the City was a one-time influx and therefore this grant program is not expected to continue indefinitely.
