Reach for the Peaks is a strategic funding campaign designed to deliver an expanded, highly professional and proactive, nationally competitive economic development program for Longmont. This program will enable Longmont EDP to identify strategic economic development initiatives and pursue them to reach for the peaks of Longmont’s economic potential.

The goal of the Reach for the Peaks campaign is to increase Longmont EDP’s private sector funding base to increase our capabilities and make Longmont EDP a more agile organization, specifically through implementation of two core strategies:

• Develop a National Marketing Campaign – Create and implement a full-scale, comprehensive economic development marketing strategy that effectively leverages owned, earned, shared, and paid media to sell the strengths of our community and diversify our marketing efforts beyond traditional “business recruitment” strategies.
• Create ASPIRE Fund & Leadership Council – Build a fund that will provide flexible resources to develop and implement strategies and pursue aspirational objectives supporting Longmont’s ability to achieve its greatest economic potential. Goals and objectives for use of these funds are guided by the ASPIRE Leadership Council, a leadership body made up of individuals and organizations invested in the fund.
