This memorandum provides an update on leading economic indicators to inform the General Assembly about the ongoing state of the Colorado and U.S. economies. Select indicators for business activity, employment, consumer activity, and energy activity are provided. Data for June and early July suggest an ongoing recovery from the COVID-19-related recession. However, economic activity remains well below pre-pandemic levels, and the impacts of the pandemic on leisure and hospitality industries remain significant.
This memorandum provides an overview of housing assistance programs and resources offered by federal, state, and local governments and nonprofit agencies throughout Colorado during the COVID-19 public health emergency.
This memorandum provides information on property tax revenue accruing to tax increment financing (TIF) districts. This research begins by providing background information on Colorado law that authorizes urban renewal authorities (URAs) and downtown development authorities (DDAs) to use TIF for urban renewal projects and concludes with information on TIF in other states.
