Arvada (2010): DCI has worked with Historic Olde Town Arvada (HOTA) since 2005, to support efforts to revitalize the historic downtown areas. The forward thinking community had leveraged urban renewal to reinvest tax increment into updated street scaping, signage, and building a façade grants. In 2010, the historic Olde Town requested DCI's assistance to engage stakeholders to consider next steps for the district. DCI identified key issues in formalizing partnerships and funding. DCI helped to re-open the dialogue around organizational financing to further the initiative to form a business improvement district (BID). Additionally, DCI helped frame the benefits and challenges that the community would see with the light rail station. Through the ongoing partnership with the City of Arvada and the Olde Town Arvada group, in 2014 DCI created an events policy to provide guidance for event planners, partners, and specifically looked at ensuring event quality and regulating parking during events in the historic district. Berthoud (2008): In December, 2008 DCI visited the Town of Berthoud. The purpose was to provide recommendations for the town’s Main Street program and downtown development efforts in general. DCI’s team of consultants listened, and made a list of observations and recommendations including messaging, identity and organizational structuring for the town to efficiently use their resources. Eaton (2005): DCI visited Eaton in 2005 to look at different design suggestions for façade renovations. The goal was to create design guidelines and priorities to renovate their downtown area. The town had good sources of funding so DCI suggested good resources and tangible next steps. |
Lafayette (2009): In December, 2009 the Lafayette Urban Renewal Authority
asked DCI to provide tools, insights and direction to help Lafayette Urban Renewal Authority improves its Olde Town corridor. As Lafayette was dealing with the pressures of growth, DCI recommended that the town develop a vision of what they want Lafayette to be in the future including designating resources and people to increase pedestrian traffic and density.
