ExecConnect

helping to provide an economic resurgence, community reinvestment, improved multi-modal mobility, ecological restoration and more. This 23-mile stretch linking Denver Union Station (DUS), a re-imagined Brighton Blvd as the gateway into downtown, a revitalized National Western Center Complex as a year-round destination and Denver International Airport (DIA) with its expanding global reach via CDOT’s modernized I-70 interstate highway project and RTD’s new east community line with nine transit stops represents a unique set of unsurpassed synergies. When aligned through the efforts of the NDCC and DIA’s Aerotropolis, we can create a dynamic series of strategically linked residential and commercial neighborhoods to drive economic and social mobility for decades to come. About Us
Connect Denver Foundation will be set up as an individual 501c3 fund and will be governed by ExecConnect. Given the scope, scale and extended timeframe to complete these improvements, the City is seeking the creation of “Connect Denver Foundation” to harness civic engagement through a series of new networks with a belief in actionable outcomes. The ultimate goal for Connect Denver Foundation is to help the Mayor and the North Denver Cornerstone Collaborative to be successful through a very methodical way of thinking and calculated “singles” and “homeruns” throughout this journey. Connect Denver Foundation will focus its efforts primarily on the economic opportunities at hand. Connect Denver Foundation will attend many of the community meetings hosted by the North Denver Cornerstone Collaborative at and around the Corridor of Opportunity to better understand the challenges and opportunities each area may and will face. It will then ultimately determine the best uses of the fund by three simple guiding principles: Community Engagement, Strategic Planning and Aligned Resources.
