You are invited to share your thoughts and participate in a General Community Forum on Tuesday, April 24.

In 2011, the Wheat Ridge City Council adopted a revitalization plan for West 38th Avenue from Wadsworth Blvd. to Sheridan Blvd (the "West 38th Avenue Commercial District"). Among the priority recommendations was the creation of a distinctive new brand for the area, and a marketing strategy to activate the district and tell our unique story. Wheat Ridge 2020, Inc. was tasked with supporting the project and recently contracted with Denver-based firms Centro Inc. and Julipp to assist with creation of the district’s new brand identity.

In an effort to engage a cross-section of community stakeholders in the brand development process, the Centro Inc./Julipp team will be hosting several focus groups in Wheat Ridge on Tuesday, April 24 and Wednesday, April 25. 

As community member, your input is very important to our ability to create an authentic message that will help promote and attract new investment in the West 38th Avenue Commercial District. I would like to extend an invitation to you to attend a focus group with the Centro Inc./Julipp team on Tuesday, April 24^th, 6:30pm – 8:00pm. This interactive focus group session will be about one hour in length and is designed to facilitate candid dialogue about the opportunities and challenges in creating a unified marketing strategy for the W. 38th Avenue Commercial District.

The focus group will be held at the Wheat Ridge Recreation Center, Carnation Room, 4005 West Kipling, Wheat Ridge. An RSVP is kindly requested by Monday, April 23 at noon via email to Kim at kimwheatridge2020org  (kimwheatridge2020org)   or by phone 720-259-1030.

If you are unable to come to this open forum, another way to provide feedback is through our online survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CWRF8YX.

Thanks for your commitment to the community.
