PHASE II
MAINTENANCE FACILITY
IMPROVEMENTS COMPLETED
In the Spring, phase II of the Maintenance Facility
improvements were completed to address inadequate space
needs for operations of the Parks, Trails, and Recreation and
Public Works departments. The project included a new
administrative/office building to replace the existing
administrative/office building at 10001 East Costilla Avenue.
The improvements will create a more productive and efficient
work environment, reflect the proper image of the Village,
and ensure staff continues to deliver high quality services to
residents and businesses in the future.
The Greenwood Village Maintenance Facility was built in
1994 to house park and street maintenance services which
included 37 regular employees, 19 seasonal workers, and
maintenance of 150 vehicles for all Village operations.
Due to the increase in the levels of service and investment in
infrastructure by the Village starting in 1994 and continuing
into the late 1990s, the maintenance facility became homebase
for all Parks Maintenance services and Public Works
including Engineering that was relocated from City Hall.
These operations are responsible for 224 lane miles of
roadways, 193 acres of developed parks, 43 miles of trails,
1.5 acres of floral beds, 49 miles of storm sewer, 7 miles of
master drainage ways, 254 acres of open space, and 53 acres
of streetscape and medians. Current service levels require
work by nearly 87 employees, 12 seasonal workers, and
maintenance of 251 vehicles for Village operations.
Additionally, the administration and recreation personnel
along with the customer service counter for Parks, Trails and
Recreation moved to the Maintenance Facility from City
Hall in March of 2020.
Maintenance Facility improvements were planned by the
Village in two phases. In 2013, Phase I of the Maintenance
Facility modifications mainly occurred to the Emporia Street
parcel. Major areas that were addressed included a new fleet
maintenance building; construction of a new material storage
building for snow and ice control; expanded material bins to
allow for bulk purchasing of materials such as mulch; and
canopies for Village equipment. In addition, a new police
department state-of-the-art crime lab was renovated and
