Securing Mapleton’s Future
A straightforward plan to fund $55 million in essential projects — without raising property taxes.
How the city pays for services
- Fees pay for themselves: water, sewer, storm drain, garbage, fiber.
- Taxes cover the basics: police, fire, roads, parks — but they’re limited.
The need
- Mapleton already faces $55 million in road, park, and infrastructure projects.
- Current tax revenue isn’t enough to pay for them.
The plan to avoid tax increases
- Mapleton Fiber: a city utility that pays for itself and generates income.
- Water revenue: protect our rights and lease surplus water for steady income.
- Mapleton Power: explore community-owned, affordable energy.
- Smarter park & trail deals: build amenities without new taxes.
