Discover How Your City Works

Have you ever wondered... How does a local government work? How does a building plan go through the approval process? How are streets prioritized for plowing after it snows? Where do your tax dollars go? Then Centennial 101 is for you!

Centennial 101 is an interactive six-week program to discover how your City works. Learn what makes Centennial unique and find out how to get more involved in your community.
