Testimonials

"Over the past ten years, BuCu West has been at the forefront of shaping and transforming Westwood, a neighborhood in southwest Denver that has been overlooked for decades. The neighborhood is made up primarily of low-income residents, many of which are foreign born." - Hon. Paul D. Lopez, Councilmen City and County of Denver, District 3

"In 2013, I had the opportunity to Chair an Urban Land Institute (ULI) Advisory Services Panel in Westwood sponsored by the Colorado Health Foundation. This panel and our team of distinguished experts in transportation, community planning, public health and urban design reached several major conclusions about Westwood. These were: 1. It was a neighborhood with great people, energy, spirit, culture and tradition. 2. That compared to many other neighborhood in Denver, Westwood had been relatively ignored and neglected by the City, and 3. That Morrison Road improvements were the key to the physical, cultural, economic and social revitalization of the neighborhood." - Edward McMahon, Westwood Panel Chair, ULI Senior Resident Fellow for Sustainable Development

"We are proud to be a part of a collaborative group of non-profit, city agency, and residents called Cool Connected Westwood, that has worked together to create a community prioritized list of projects that include Morrison Road as a top priority. Creative engagement and public arts are an integral component of this work. This funding is vital as we seek to continue to work with the Westwood community to implement their vision of the Westwood neighborhood through creative, cultural, and arts-based activities." - Emily Patterson, Colorado Create Program Director, The Trust for Public Land
