On Wednesday, March 11 at 6:30 p.m. and Wednesday, April 8 at 6:30 p.m., the City of Golden will host refining workshops in City Council Chambers to discuss Heart of Golden 2020 and the Clear Creek Corridor.

This workshop will begin with a project update and will have a feedback activity, which will allow direct community comments and suggestions.

The key questions for the community to address at this workshop are:

1. What do you like most about each option presented?
2. What do you like least?
3. What is missing?

Businesses in Golden will hear the latest status of loans available from SBA, City (DDA/GURA) fund, and others and have a chance to ask questions of presenters. Experts in their field will present to local businesses targeted information to help them navigate right now, where to focus their energy on recovering from the COVID crisis.
