iv. Connect BID Directors and the Adaptive Reuse
Coordinator
Once a Coordinator is hired for the program, conversations and
coordination with the BID Directors should occur on a regular
basis, perhaps quarterly. While it’s likely that the conversations will
happen more regularly, establishing a regular meeting time will
provide an opportunity to review any key issues BID Directors are
hearing from their members, and also provide a chance to review
successful projects and those that need assistance.

v. Explore partnerships with non-profit organizations
Consider expanding existing City partnerships with non-profit
organizations or creating new partnerships that focus on adaptive-
ly reusing buildings. While a non-profit’s main objective may not
be to ensure buildings along East Colfax are adaptively reused, the
act of reusing buildings may be in line with their objectives of sus-
tainability, character preservation, historic building preservation or
supporting local entrepreneurs, among many other potential goals.
The Adaptive Reuse Coordinator should seek out these partner-
ships to distribute the program advocacy and implementation
work.
