Littleton voters will decide in November whether to raise the city's sales tax rate on retail marijuana. The Littleton City Council unanimously approved placing a question on the ballot to raise the sales tax rate by 4% at its August 20 meeting. The city's current sales tax rate for retail marijuana is 3%. If the ballot question is approved by voters, it would rise to 7%, which, when added to the city's regular sales taxes and state taxes, would put Littleton's rate on the higher end of the range compared with surrounding communities. If approved, all the funds raised by the additional tax would be dedicated to public safety and homelessness prevention services, such as mental health crisis and proactive safety programs, and the Tri-Cities Homelessness Action Plan. City staff estimate that a four-point increase could bring in as much as $646,000 in annual revenue for these kinds of services. In the 2024 Resident Survey, 83% of residents indicated "strong" or "somewhat strong" support for a rate increase. The election will be November 5.

The Littleton Downtown Development Authority (LDDA) is looking to bring some holiday cheer to Downtown Littleton this year with its new Holiday Tree Program. The LDDA will purchase, install, and maintain evergreen trees along Main St. from November through January. The trees will be placed in temporary planters and lit with decorative lights. At the end of January, the trees will be moved and planted at permanent locations around the city. The program calls for 34 trees to line Main Street, each about five or six feet tall. Potential species include Austrian Pines, White Firs, Douglas Firs, and Blue Spruces. Community members can sponsor the program at various levels, ranging from $500 to $2,500. Each sponsorship level includes logo placement on the LDDA website and e-newsletters, a social media mention, and a name or logo displayed on a plaque near the sponsored tree. Higher sponsorship levels include receiving a tree or two at the conclusion of the program to plant or donate to an LDDA-approved partner and additional social media mentions and recognition. The goal of the program is to temporarily replace the trees that were cut down on Main Street due to disease in 2023. New permanent trees won't be planted until the 2025 Denver Water project along Main Street is completed and construction on the city's Project Downtown initiative concludes.
