Castle Pines Wants Your Input on Economic Development

By Connor Tien, DougCo Social

Castle Pines is asking residents what kinds of businesses they want to see in the Lagae Road and Happy Canyon corridor. A quick survey closes March 24.

What They're Asking

The city is exploring how to attract more:

  • Restaurants
  • Entertainment venues
  • Retail shops
  • Services

The survey takes about 5 minutes and asks residents to prioritize what matters most for commercial development in Castle Pines.

Why It Matters

Castle Pines has historically been a residential community with limited commercial options. Residents often drive to Lone Tree, Castle Rock, or Parker for dining and shopping.

The city is exploring whether — and how — to change that. Your input helps shape what gets built (or doesn't get built) in the years ahead.
