Founded in 1975, Stokes Place - Green Bowers Homeowners Assocation (SPGB) is a Colorado non-profit corporation formed to  "assist in improving...the conditions and affairs of the property in the Stokes Place and the Green Bowers Additions to the City and County of Denver...and to investigate problems and solutions that may exist in the Additions [and] participate in the protection and promotion of the proper and orderly development of...the Additions by an intelligent and systematic planning program." 

SPGB is recogized by the City of Denver as a Registered Neighborhood Organization (RNO). RNOs are key contact points for Denver's Community Planning and Development Department. RNOs receive notification of proposed zoning amendments, landmark designation applications, planning board and board of adjustment hearings, liquor and cabaret licenses and other activities occurring in the neighborhood.

SPGB has also sponsered many neighborhood activities over the years to provide opportunity for resident engagement such as an annual Halloween parade, neighborhood picnic, progressive dinners and other social gatherings at local establishments. It has also funded the installation of signs marking the entrance to the neighborhood and periodic publishing of a neighborhood directory.

Currently SPGB is working on ideas to solve the traffic issues created by the increased density in the surrounding neighborhoods, including mixed use high density developments planned in the next five to ten years.  A traffic committee has been formed to follow up with the city regarding available options.  A copy of the November 2024 traffic survey of the neighborhood is below.

SPGB is also currently cooperating with surrounding neighborhoods to address the proposed development of the King Soopers property at Colorado Blvd. and Exposition.  SPGB was recently formally notified by Kentro, the developer, that they will work within the existing zoning and do not plan on requesting that the property be rezoned for a larger, taller development (see letter below).
