Our goal has always been the success of our city. The following accomplishments highlight the Colorado Springs Mayoral term, 2023–2025
As a father of three young kids, Mayor Yemi Mobolade knows that safety for our families and neighborhoods is not a policy priority — it is personal. That is why he has made it his first order of business since day one, hiring nearly 300 new police officers to bring the force to a record 800 strong, driving homicides down 20 percent, and putting cutting-edge tools in the hands of the people who keep Colorado Springs safe.
Colorado Springs is growing fast, and Mayor Yemi knows that growth means nothing if we do not take care of what we already have — from the roads we drive on, to the parks our families enjoy, to the airport that connects us to the world. That is why he made infrastructure a non-negotiable commitment, earning the trust of voters who extended the 2C road program with 73 percent support, securing $820 million for the largest repaving investment in city history, advancing Legacy Loop and Garden of the Gods improvements, and delivering new direct air service and an international terminal designation for Colorado Springs Airport.
Mayor Yemi knows that a thriving city is one where working families can afford to put down roots. Since taking office he has pushed hard on both supply and affordability — 8,000+ homes permitted or built, 1,700 affordable units opened or moving forward in the last year alone, and a homelessness response plan grounded in compassion, public safety, and real pathways to stability.
Mayor Yemi has delivered record-breaking economic growth for Colorado Springs — securing 16 economic development agreements projected to bring 2,700 jobs and $69 million in new revenue — and as the small business mayor, he has made it easier than ever for local entrepreneurs to start, grow, and thrive in this city. From $2.1 million in Thrive loans to the Permit Partner tool that has put permitting at the fingertips of 5,000 business owners, Mayor Yemi is building an economy that works for everyone.
Mayor Yemi has always believed that Colorado Springs can be a city of great neighbors and neighborhoods — and his administration has put that vision into action. Through the 1,000 Neighborhood Gatherings initiative his administration connected more than 55,000 residents, and through the Keep It Clean COS program residents are cleaning up our parks and stormwater system. On top of that, El Paso County registered an 18 percent drop in suicide deaths and a 60 percent decline in youth suicides along the way.
