UpDoNA ANNOUNCEMENTS

UpDoNA Needs You

UpDoNA needs volunteers for two committees. 

We are looking for a chairperson for the Social Committee.  This person would lead efforts for planning UNO’s (UpDoNA Nights Out) and UpDoNA Eats events, and for planning the annual meeting.

We are also looking for help in the Membership Committee.  These individuals would interface with existing Business Members to develop more personal relationships with them, and to contact residential buildings and other businesses to increase the overall membership in UpDoNA.

If you can spare a little time, please contact Lisa Pope at lisapope0628@gmail.com.

Community Engagement

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.
