Wheat Ridge Business District

The Wheat Ridge Business District was formed in a joint partnership between local business owners and the City of Wheat Ridge to help revitalize 38th Avenue - the City's traditional "Main Street."  The effort has been expanded to serve businesses throughout the City of Wheat Ridge. 

The Wheat Ridge Business District administers a Revitalization Incentive Program providing matching grant assistance for facade improvements, signs, awnings and design assistance for Wheat Ridge businesses.
