ABOUT US
The Five Points Business District is a ten-block corridor positioned along Welton Street on the northeast edge of downtown Denver. It is experiencing a rebirth of energy and interest after years of dormancy. Its urban location, culturally rich history, and convenient light rail access positions the area to be the next “it” neighborhood. When you combine those factors with the rapid growth of the district’s surrounding neighborhoods, you have the formula for a great business and cultural corridor.
The work of the office is focused around three areas:
- Business Development
- Cultural Promotion & Preservation
- The Greater Good
The effort around Business Development involves the recruitment of new, relevant, and neighborhood-serving businesses; strengthening existing businesses; and collaborating with property owners, residents, the City, developers, non-profits and other stakeholders to promote and support development of the corridor.
The effort around Cultural Promotion & Preservation involves marketing the corridor as a cultural and tourism destination for arts, culture and entertainment and that showcases Denver’s African American history and the area’s rich jazz heritage.
The effort around The Greater Good involves taking a “whole-system” approach to revitalizing the Five Points area, which means considering issues beyond economic development like: education, transportation, safety, children & families, and issues around health.
