COVID-19

In response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and in support of preventative measures promoted by global, national, state and local public health authorities, City Facilities will be temporarily closed to the public - this is a precautionary action to aid in slowing the spread of this virus. Updates will be regularly posted at centralcity.colorado.gov/COVID-19.

City of Central facilities will be closed to the public effective Friday March 13, 2020 (until further notice).

This closure applies to the following buildings:

• City Hall - 141 Nevada Street
• Central City Visitor Center - 103 Eureka Street

Inter-City Shuttle

Due to the temporary closure of our casinos, the inter-city shuttle between Central City and Black Hawk will not be operating.
