In the South Metro area, we have benefitted tremendously from Light Rail down Santa Fe and along I-25. Some of the well-planned Transit Oriented Developments have been positive additions to our area. I recognize from my time on Greenwood Village City Council that efforts to work collaboratively with local, state and federal governments results in economic benefits for the region as a whole. Public transportation is one of the key components of continuing to attract employers to our area. As the former liaison to the Greenwood Village Chamber of Commerce (now DTC Chamber) I understand the needs of the business community and the ways in which small businesses benefit from organizations like the DTC Chamber, the South Metro Chamber, and the Englewood Chamber.
