History
of the Organization
In the late 1980’s Golden was a small town in transition to a small city. The old downtown was experiencing slow decline as long- time businesses left, leaving empty storefronts. New commercial development was shifting to Old Golden Road or out of town altogether. At the same time, new subdivisions were being constructed on open lands surrounding Golden and older, historic neighborhoods were being discovered, renewed and occupied by a wave of new residents, unfamiliar with how city government in Golden had always functioned. New voters elected City Councilors who questioned the direction and speed of City growth.
