Local Happenings: How Will it Impact Local
Businesses?
Boulder Ponders
Industrial-Residential Mix
In an effort to increase
housing without using open space, Boulder City Council is
considering an ordinance that would allow housing to be built
in some of the city's industrial zones. For more on this story
click here: Boulder
County Business Report, January 9, 2004. One of the first
areas impacted by these changes is Gunbarrel. Adoption
hearings on a proposed Gunbarrel Community Center Plan will be
held on February 3, 2004. Remember: You have the
opportunity to speak to the Council to express your
opinions about City issues. Visit the City Council's web site

The "Local" Movement What is Happening in Other
Communities?
Did you know that
what began in Boulder 6 years ago as a grassroots campaign to
support locally owned independent businesses is now a national
movement? In fact, the issues have become more and more
mainstream, as evidenced by increased coverage by major
national media publications. For more information on the iba
movement, visit the pressroom of the American Independent
Business Alliance at http://amiba.net/pressroom/
The City of Los Angeles is considering the
possibility of banning big box development. In fact, a report
was commissioned by two city council members on the impact of
big box development and recently released - a significant
recognition for the local government of a city of this size.
