Dillon Core Area Vision Statement:
The purpose of Dillon Town Core Revitalization is to create a vibrant, mixed-use destination that reflects our Mountain Lakestyle identity; is the preferred location for new and existing businesses, residents, and guests, and enhances the quality of life for all who venture here.
In order to diversify our existing business base, drive density, and solidify Dillon as a year-round destination with a lively, pedestrian atmosphere and a preferred location for community experiences; we encourage the addition of year-round residential units, commercial amusement uses such as indoor play and entertainment, taverns, restaurants, retail, education and community centers.
A testament to our commitment to revitalization, the Dillon Urban Renewal Authority was created in order to streamline and support development efforts and as a mechanism to implement Private/Public Partnerships and development incentives for projects that provide a public benefit.
Goals of Revitalization:
1. Increase density and foot traffic by providing a diverse mix of residential opportunities, businesses, event programming, and community amenities
2.Improve the overall appearance of the core area and instill a sense of pride in the Dillon community
3. Diversify and expand Dillon's tax base in order to reinvest in public amenities including parks, amphitheater, Marina and community programs and events
Dillon Summary:
Dillon’s Town Core can support one hundred thousand (100,000) SQ. feet for multi-functional retail opportunities and support at least two-hundred (200) residential units. (Assumes redevelopment of Core Area parcels in addition to Town-owned land.)

This project entailed both short-term and long-term planning for the cemetery, including additional grave-sites, new roadways, public utilities, public facilities, public parking and additional burial options. This plan was the culmination of a year’s effort by the Dillon Cemetery Advisory Committee and project consultants CPRA Studio, LLC.

Three Mile Plan
The purpose of this plan is to address the specific statutory requirements of Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S.) 31-12-105, which requires that a municipality adopt an annexation plan prior to the annexation of any land into the municipality, and that it provide direction to the municipality and land owners concerning land use issues and infrastructure improvements needed upon annexation into the Town of Dillon. This plan is also referred to on occasion as the Three Mile Plan for Annexation due to the statutory limit which does not allow a municipality to annex further than 3 miles from the existing municipal limit in any one calendar year.
