Westminster Chamber Awarded Downtown Activation Contract to Lead New Era of Downtown Vibrancy

Westminster, CO – [May 8, 2025] – The Westminster Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce that it has been awarded the Downtown Westminster Activation Contract by the City of Westminster, a strategic initiative aimed at energizing Downtown Westminster through events, marketing, and engagement programs. The contract, valued at $300,000, marks a major investment in making Downtown Westminster a vibrant hub for businesses, residents, and visitors.

The Chamber, in partnership with the Downtown Westminster Business Association (DWBA) and with strong support from City Council and city staff, will lead the activation efforts. These efforts will include a mix of regular community events, creative marketing campaigns, and collaborative projects designed to bring people downtown and foster economic growth.

“This is a transformative moment for Downtown Westminster,” said Jamie Chavez, President & CEO of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce. “We’re grateful to the City for their vision and commitment, and we’re excited to work hand-in-hand with downtown businesses to create a lively, welcoming destination that benefits everyone.”

The Chamber’s activation plan will be guided by feedback from downtown businesses and stakeholders, ensuring the efforts reflect the community’s needs and priorities. Initial events are already being planned, with the first major activation launching later this month.

“This partnership is a great example of what can happen when city leadership and the business community come together with a shared vision,” said Matte Simmons, DWBA Founder. “We’re eager to see the energy and innovation the Chamber will bring to Downtown Westminster.”

Downtown businesses are encouraged to get involved by attending the Downtown Westminster Business Association (DWBA) meetings, held on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 2 PM at the Chamber office. The next meeting is scheduled for May 20th.
