Toolbox for Small Rural Communities

Downtown Colorado, Inc. Session

September 8th, 1:00-2:30 PM

Small, rural communities in Colorado often have limited time and staff to consider the zoning and code to shape the community they envision. Too often we see small towns who have adopted codes from somewhere else that may not accurately reflect the development, redevelopment, and investment the town would like to see. Downtown Colorado, Inc. in partnership with StudioSeed and Community Planning Strategies, have taken on the initiative to investigate and develop a tool to identify barriers and solutions for small, rural communities in aligning regulation to encourage private investment in the community vision around housing, historic preservation, and entrepreneurship through infill and re-use of existing buildings. Join us in a workshop setting as we encounter barriers and use the toolbox to identify ways to move the needle in the right direction!

Speakers: Katherine Correll, Downtown Colorado, Inc.

Cheney Bostic, Studio Seed

Tj Dlubac, Community Planning Strategies

Many Colorado communities are curious about districts and authorities that can focus on redevelopment, reuse, and place management in the downtown or commercial areas of your community. Business Improvement Districts, Downtown Development Authorities (DDAs), and Urban Renewal Authorities (URAs) represent some of the tools available to help municipalities implement the vision through public-private partnerships. What are the differences between these tools, how are they formed, governed, and how to they work? Could this be a tool to help with downtown development in your town?

Why sit in a conference room to learn, when you can hit the road and tour some projects?! Colorado Municipal League (CML) & Downtown Colorado, Inc. (DCI) are pleased to announce our second annual financing mechanism mobile tour. We will visit projects and partner groups in Arvada, Golden, Lakewood, + Wheat Ridge to encourage an interactive experience to showcase what these tools can do, how they work with others, and what their plan is for the future.

Join CML & DCI has we invite our member cities and towns to see some DDA projects and talk to the officials and business owners involved.
