PROGRAM OVERVIEW | Downtown Colorado, Inc. (DCI) is pleased to invite your participation to learn more about an opportunity to serve as a pilot community, free of charge, in a program with access to extensive training, workshops, and technical assistance to consider community revitalization and property redevelopment. The revised Colorado Challenge Accelerator Program will help establish a list of opportunity sites for investment, building a stronger community team to connect public and private resources to get things done, and help shape a funding strategy with a timeline and talking or proposals points to share with funders.
DESCRIPTION | What steps should a community take to effectively work with the private sector on a project? Review how to craft agreements, milestones, deliverables, funding, and have it all align with community objectives. Examples work for big and small projects.
