The Northern Colorado Regional Economic Development Initiative has released a roadmap outlining the central intersections of the public and private sectors and their partnerships to share the way the region is working together to reignite our economy.
The map serves as a visual representation highlighting the alignment of resources and mitigation work implemented in response to the economic impacts of COVID-19.
“The established relationships that existed prior to COVID-19 gave us an upper hand in our road to response and recovery. This map helps us clarify the connection points across the region that are focused on the essential goal of reigniting our economy and instilling consumer confidence,” said Larimer County Economic Development Manager Adam Crowe.
Elements of the map include those existing collaborations prior to COVID-19 that continue to work together to mitigate impacts, business response partners and groups, advocacy organizations, funding opportunities, and regional tools.
The effort of each of these elements working on behalf of the business community will merge into the collaborative, Reignite Our Economy Plan, outlined through key phases.
The first phase is currently underway and will guide the overall strategy through data analysis, focus groups, and one-on-one storytelling from local businesses. Industry-based focus groups will be held Oct. 20 to Nov. 4 to help guide the discovery, strategy, and implementation of this plan.
