Aurora, Colorado

The city of Aurora is a full-service municipality governed by a council-manager form of government, which combines the political leadership of elected officials with the professional expertise of an appointed city manager.

​

Covering 163 square miles across Arapahoe, Adams, and Douglas counties, Aurora’s comprehensive plan emphasizes the development of livable, full-service neighborhoods.

​

Located just minutes from Denver International Airport, Aurora supports a dynamic business environment with major industries 

including aerospace and defense, bioscience and health care, renewable energy, and transportation and logistics. Both large employers and small businesses are supported through programs such as the Aurora Advantage 4 Business initiative and the Aurora-South Metro Small Business Development Center.

​

With sweeping views and proximity to the Rocky Mountains, Aurora serves as a gateway to all that Colorado has to offer.
