EGS&P and the GES Steering Committee is currently establishing a community council of zip code 80216 neighbors that will advise a community-based health study of North Denver starting in 2021. In this capacity, EGS&P works with community leaders, scientists and public health officials to create resident-driven participatory research goals. These activities are related to Sierra Club, et al. v. Chao, et. al, an environmental justice lawsuit that addressed the widening of the I-70 highway through North Denver. The settlement establishes a funding stream for a community-based health study and climate resilience activities in Globeville, Elyria and Swansea.
