The City Council’s vision for Longmont’s places includes a developed Main Street from Pike Road to Highway 66, and a river corridor that stretches from the Sugar Mill to the Fairgrounds as a vibrant economic, residential, cultural and entertainment epicenter that is sustainable and respects the natural environment. This area will:
Have a diverse housing stock with higher densities, access to high quality public transportation, food and jobs (Goal B1)
Protect and respect our natural public amenities as part of the development process (Goal B2)
Become a nationally recognized geographic center of science, technology, engineering, education, arts, and entrepreneurialism (Goal B3)
Bring together private industry, local government, non-profits, institutions of higher education as well as the St. Vrain Valley School district to ensure the highest quality, best prepared workforce in the western United States (Goal B4)
The Council has focused this effort in a geographic area north of the St. Vrain River, and would like your opinion on what would make this area an epicenter of science, technology, education, arts and entrepreneurialism. Do you envision a performing arts center? Or a campus for higher education? An environmental learning center along the river? Think big and share your thoughts!

City Council’s
vision for Longmont’s places includes a well-developed Main Street from Pike
Road to Highway 66, and river/creek corridor that stretches from the Sugar Mill
to the Fairgrounds. This area is envisioned as a vibrant economic, residential,
cultural and entertainment epicenter that is sustainable and respects the
natural environment. To support this
vision, some initial visioning work has been initiated to test concepts and
gather feedback from the community. The
following survey will ask about preferences for one section of the St. Vrain
Creek corridor and 1st & Main Street; this general area is referred
to as the Building STEAM areawithin the survey.
To further
support this vision, the City is also working on the Main Street Corridor Plan;
this effort is assessing land use, transportation, market needs, and
opportunities for improvements to the entire Main Street Corridor. A separate
survey will be available to gather input for other areas of Main Street. Visit the Main Street Corridor's Project Page >
A series of
models and drawings have been put together to test potential redevelopment concepts
with the community. The following survey questions are aimed at understanding
the level of support and preferences for these concepts.
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.
