Downtown Business Owner Resources

Downtown business owners are the heart of our community and are eligible for certain Downtown initiatives and programs. Below is information on a number of these. 


Rules for Public Spaces

The LDDA developed Rules for Public Spaces for businesses and event organizers to follow when requesting to use a Downtown public space such as a breezeway, plaza, parking lot, etc. If interested in using a public space in Downtown, contact the LDDA at (303) 651-8484. 


Clean & Safe Information

Downtown Longmont’s partnership with the City of Longmont Public Works and Natural Resources (PWNR) and the Longmont Police Department (LPD) helps ensure a clean, safe and welcoming environment to all who live, work or visit downtown.
