While Denver Mayor Michael Hancock might be struggling to brand his economic initiatives without using trite corporate parlance, nobody can fault him for his efforts to get citizens involved in the Denver budget.
As part of those efforts, Hancock will be hosting a town hall meeting tomorrow morning. From Delivering Denver’s Future:

Hancock’s been very creative in his promotion of citizen involvement in the budgeting process. That said, we can’t help but wonder: how exactly do you “deliver a future?” We were under the impression that the future is one of those things that is going to come with or without delivery. Is there a way to deliver the future faster? What if you promise the future-delivery boy a really, really good tip? Obviously Hancock wants to deliver a certain kind of very prosperous future for Denver, but the “shape Denver” talking point seems more appropriate for that end goal.
Semantic quibbling aside, it seems that Hancock learned at least one lesson from former opponent Chris Romer: Denver aspires to be a “world-class city.” Romer relied on that talking point throughout his campaign and now, it seems, Hancock’s using the same phrasing from within the mayor’s office.
