Downtown Grand Junction

For People Who Run a Business Here

Business Hub

Downtown is the business, cultural and community hub for the Grand Valley: pedestrian streets, independently owned shops and kitchens, and an arts scene that has been running for forty years.

Why Downtown

Downtown is where the Grand Valley’s financial institutions, realtors and brokers, government agencies and other service providers sit, so a business that opens here is opening next to the people it needs.

Staff come for the rest of it. Las Colonias, a public and private park built around outdoor recreation, anchors the River District a short walk away, and the Monument is close enough to be an evening rather than a trip.

One rule decides eligibility: the business has to sit inside the Business Improvement District and the Downtown Development Authority boundaries.

Start an Application Read the Board Records First

The grant programmes the boards run, the façade grant and the building activation grant among them, are filed in the record library with their guidelines attached.

Where this comes from: the DDA’s own Business Hub and Why DTGJ pages, and the grant guidelines the boards have published. Distances and the eligibility boundary are quoted from those pages. All sources
