City Council also requested that staff establish a Business Support Program in partnership with Jefferson County Small Business Development Center (Jeffco SBDC). An initial open house was held on April 3, 2023 to hear from local small businesses and help shape this program's directionality. The potential direction of this program includes the following:
Provide targeted resources for existing small businesses within Edgewater as they navigate day-to-day operations and decision-making.
Help guide local businesses through potential growth or expansion.
Support local business's ability to navigate continued inflationary pressures.
Help local businesses adapt to existing or potential legislative changes, including the potential impact of local increases in minimum wages.
Currently, City Council has voiced support for the city to fully subsidize this program's cost for all active participants. Opportunity for further community input and more information are available at envisionedgewater.com.
