Local Economy
Arvada is able to stay strong because of its focus on the local business core. 80% of city revenue is through sales tax, and 60-70% of this is from the sales near Wadsworth and the interstate.
Diversify city income through attracting different sectors, accurately placing fees on new sources of costs, and development in more areas of Arvada such as Quantum Commons and anticipated stops along the new railway line project.
As the city is behind in infrastructure development projects by $191 million dollars, attract profitable businesses to increase revenue without raising taxes.
Push for new housing developments for everyday Arvadans so people can live and work here instead of having to live in other municipalities.
Support a comprehensive plan from the Arvada Economic Development Association to involve the whole city in looking forward.
