Colorado Municipal League (CML)

Our Work:
Member research, benchmark and tracking research, surveys

For over fifteen years, the Colorado Municipal League (CML) has retained Corona Insights as a trusted partner to conduct their annual “State of Our Cities and Towns” research. At the inception of this work, we focused on creating financial benchmarks, which were especially critical at the time because the 2008 financial crisis had just begun. In subsequent years, we collected data to measure changes in these metrics and tell the story of how Colorado’s towns have rebounded since the recession. Furthermore, each year we have collected additional information on a new topic for that year, from public safety to parks and recreation to transportation and more. Collecting these supplemental data points has generated fresh insights and invigorating content for the annual report in addition to the financial monitoring. CML uses this information annually to broadly report on the state of Colorado’s cities and towns and to inform leaders and policy throughout the state.

We have also been retained by CML to conduct separate ad-hoc research projects, such as membership surveys.
