The Clear Creek Economic Development Corporation is excited to announce its 2nd Annual Regional Resilience Economic Development Mixer, which will take place on February 13, 2025, from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM at the historic Teller House in Central City.

Following the success of last year's event, which took place at the Club Hotel in Idaho Springs, your valuable feedback and insights helped shape the Region 3 Economic Resilience Framework, a comprehensive strategy aimed at fostering sustainable growth across Clear Creek and Gilpin counties. The framework, developed through collaboration between local businesses, community leaders, and regional partners, focuses on addressing key issues such as workforce development, housing, childcare, transportation, and economic diversification, among others. 

At this year’s mixer, we will introduce the Regional Resilience Team, a dedicated group of leaders and experts who will help implement the framework and drive forward the vision for the region’s economic future.

Why is your participation important?

• For Businesses: This event offers an invaluable opportunity to engage with regional leaders, form new partnerships, and gain insights that will help your business grow and thrive in a changing economic landscape.
• For the Community: The continued success of our region depends on collaboration. Your participation helps ensure we tackle our shared challenges together and create a strong, resilient future for both Clear Creek and Gilpin counties.

The event will feature appetizers and a relaxed setting, offering plenty of opportunities for networking and conversation. While the agenda is still being finalized, we’ll share the details with you soon.

To attend the event, please RSVP by February 7th to reserve your spot. You can confirm your attendance by contacting Lindsey Valdez at president@clearcreekedc.org.
