Economic Development Group Priorities:
Business Retention and Expansion (BRE)
Our most valuable economic asset is our existing businesses. As such, we are constantly surveying our existing business leaders in the community to assess and explore opportunities that will result in a sustainable and healthy economy.
Business Attraction
Through regional partnerships, trade-missions, and site-selection efforts, we recruit primary employers and provide support to new companies making the transition to South Metro Denver.
Economic Development Advocacy
Through collaboration and advocacy, the EDG supports efforts that improve the business climate and economic development infrastructure of our community.
