Project Manager - Maintenance, Irrigation, & Special Projects

The Metro Denver Local Development Corporation (MDLDC) is a Colorado Non-profit group. We were established in 1978 to serve urban neighborhoods in the Denver metropolitan area. Our mission is to foster business revitalization and neighborhood preservation in transitional neighborhoods that have the potential for rejuvenation. We accomplish this by providing planning and management services to business interest groups and by working closely with adjacent neighborhoods and local government agencies. We have been serving Denver neighborhood business interests, with small business management and economic development expertise, for over 45 years.

The MDLDC was originally formed by concerned business property owners, merchants, and neighborhood activists who wanted to change the status quo. The goal was to provide a mechanism to improve the business environment through beautification and management of the day-to-day maintenance of streetscape improvements and create a sense of place. In addition, the group worked to combat and reverse the detrimental effects of deteriorating business areas and their impact on adjacent neighborhoods.

Presently, MDLDC is working with half a dozen individual Special Districts and/or Neighborhood Groups. Mobilized in multiple areas of Denver, MDLDC is still providing a mechanism to improve commercial corridors and business environments through beautification and day-to-day management of streetscape improvements/initiatives.
