BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS
$500/Year for Start-Up BIDs or with fewer than Five Staff
DCI's signature services are here to help your staff, board and other stakeholders from start up to sunset or extension. DCI continually expands resources, programs, and services to assist with education, policies, advocacy, public engagement, project quality, best practices, regular communication, information sharing and a focus on statewide collaboration and planning for the future of BIDs in Colorado.
“DCI has been working with downtowns and commercial districts in Colorado for over 40 years. DCI has a unique and effective way of understanding and showcasing the needs of our BID and the district we represent. We host DCI events to engage our constituents and educate our elected officials, we participate in panels and statewide BID events to share our story, and we call on DCI when we want to bring a topic to the top of mind for our peers and representatives in Colorado. We also turn to DCI when we need to have some fun and refocus our efforts!”– Terri Takata-Smith, Downtown Boulder Partnership
