Giving Small Business a Big Voice!  

​Business Advocacy & Policy Guidelines

The Durango Chamber of Commerce advocates for a strong business climate.  Every year, public policy changes are proposed that could impact your business.  The Chamber plays a leadership role in being a trusted and reliable voice that supports pro-business policies at the local, regional and state level.

Durango City Next Step Project
The Durango Chamber of Commerce, Business Improvement District and Local First partnered to facilitate a survey of downtown business and property owners on the Next Step Project.  They also held a forum where business owners presented questions for the City to responded to.  Here are the questions and answers presented during the August 27th Forum (both primary and secondary here).

Forum participants also submitted follow up questions.  Those will be posted here as soon as those responses are submitted by the City.
