Consultation has concluded
This project is picking up STEAM again! When City Council convened the community to visualize what “could be” along specific areas of the St. Vrain River Corridor, there was a lot of community excitement about the potential for this area. The “results” of the year-long engagement process with the community was reviewed by City Council in October 2019.
In 2020, $150,000 was allocated to move those visualizations into a more practical, implementable plan for action. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, additional work was not able to be completed in 2020, but the funding and intentions will carry through to 2021.
Since the first phase of the visioning process wrapped up, many exciting project ideas have emerged that could redefine the future of lower downtown as the STEAM area is developed.
Staff from the City's Planning and Development Services will work with property owners and community stakeholders to create the next plans for how to move forward with redevelopment of the area. Engage Longmont will be a perfect resource for staying informed and for adding your voice when the City Council requests input from the public on investment and development possibilities.

As we envision, plan, and design our way into the future, it must be with an unrelenting dedication to doing our part to preserve the planet for future generations. It starts with us. Our example must both set a standard for, and inspire hope. If not Longmont, then where? If not now, then when? Check out the videos below to see the current state of the St. Vrain Creek Corridor - let's imagine together what it could look like for future generations.
