UpDoNA Annual Meeting

UpDoNA’s Annual Meeting will be held in the latter part of June.  The exact date is in flux because we’re tying to arrange a special venue for this year’s meeting.  Stay tuned.

No matter what, it’ll be a lot of fun, and you will also be introduced to the newly-elected UpDoNA Board of Directors.  Watch your emails in the coming weeks for an EventBrite link.

What is Upper Downtown?

Formerly known as the “Central Business District”, we’re now Upper Downtown and we encompass a large section of the downtown area bordered by Lawrence Street, 20th Street, 20th Avenue, North Broadway, West Colfax and Speer Boulevard.

Our community includes over twenty residential buildings with a mix of condominiums, lofts and apartment rentals.  We’re also home to hundreds of businesses (large and small), as well as multiple parks, dining and entertainment venues of all types.
