The Next Evolution of Economic Development
We've developed a transformative economic development strategy that seeks to develop an inclusive economy, align our community around collective impact, and move the needle on the issues that matter the most.
Advance Longmont 2.0 champions growth, prosperity, and inclusion.
These different lenses support innovative projects and initiatives to build a more resilient local economy and provide opportunity to our whole community.
Advance Longmont 2.0 is designed around collective impact.
Collective impact aligns organizations, people, and resources to implement what matters. Our goal? Longmont will be nationally recognized as a community that solves problems together.
Advance Longmont 2.0 is a data-driven economic development strategy.
Our priorities were informed by and designed with data. Our Data Dashboard showcases the data we used to develop this strategy and ongoing metrics we examine as we move to implementation.
