Economic Sustainability Strategy: Addressing Space and Business Challenges in Boulder

The Economic Sustainability Strategy (ESS) addresses key challenges such as limited space for expansion, inflexible regulations, and high business costs in Boulder. Stakeholders, including architects, developers, and primary employers, support a place-based approach, encouraging the addition of amenities and creative spaces. The strategy also focuses on improving transportation, housing, and workforce training. Details about the strategy can be found on the City of Boulder’s website under "Doing Business" and "Economic Vitality." Council motion for adoption is in progress, aiming to boost economic growth and community vitality.
