Overview

The Downtown Grand Junction Partnership is committed to creating an economically diverse, sustainable, and vibrant downtown that is a great place to live, work and play. The Downtown Partnership consists of two special districts, the Downtown Development Authority and the Business Improvement District. View the Downtown Plan - Vibrant Together.

The Business Improvement District (BID)

The Business Improvement District produces and supports events that attract visitors, enrich life for residents, and drive revenue to local businesses. The BID also develops advertising, marketing, and public relations campaigns that reach regional, statewide, and national audiences and help brand Downtown as a regional hub.  View more on the Downtown Grand Junction Development Authority/Business Improvement District Website.
