Downtown Fort Collins

Since our inception in 1981 by a vote of district property owners and residents, the Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority (DDA) has been guided by our Plan of Development and our Mission: to build public-private investment partnerships that foster economic, cultural, and social growth in the central business district. Since 2020, its Business Marketing & Communications Program has been championing small-business and community initiatives that strengthen the heartbeat of downtown. We're more than promoters. We're advocates, storytellers, and collaborators dedicated to creating meaningful change. Every business promotion and campaign we launch, and every connection we build, is rooted in the belief that when local businesses thrive, the entire community benefits. Guided by our deep affection for historic Old Town and its incredible landscape of business and neighborhoods, we bring heart, grit, and purpose to everything we do. Supporting this vibrant urban hub isn't just our job, it's our passion.
