REGIONAL FACTORS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Littleton is part of the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) planning area that covers the greater Denver
region (including Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Clear Creek, Douglas, Gilpin, and Jefferson counties; the City and County of
Denver; the City and County of Broomfield; and southwest Weld County). Metro Vision is the regional plan for the DRCOG
region. As the 2017 plan version states, “the Metro Vision plan does not replace the vision of any individual community;
rather it is a tool to promote regional cooperation on issues that extend beyond jurisdictional boundaries.”
The Metro Vision Outcomes listed below are shared regionwide aspirations. Each jurisdiction contributes toward achieving
these outcomes in a manner appropriate to its local circumstances and priorities. Highlighted below in Table 1, Metro
Vision and Envision Littleton Links, are areas where the Metro Vision Outcomes and Envision Littleton are aligned.
