Estes Park Urban Renewal Authority
Planned Progress for Estes Park
The Estes Park Urban Renewal Authority (EPURA) is an
individual governmental entity, created by the Town of Estes Park to eliminate
physical and economic blight and to plan and implement physical improvements
aimed at enhancing the Estes Park economy and community improvement. EPURA came into being in 1982 after the Lawn Lake flood disaster, which dealt a
devastating blow to downtown Estes Park and nearby areas.
Since its formation, EPURA has served as a catalyst and a mechanism for
transforming downtown Estes Park from traveler-oriented mediocrity to a
showplace of award-winning functional amenities. In
addition to having positive economic effects relative to tourism, EPURA's
physical improvements are enjoyed by all citizens of the community.
