Advocates for downtown Englewood eye trends Analyst presents to chamber as city starts downtown action plan BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There is a feeling of excitement among Englewood businesses, city leaders and residents as the city is starting to piece together its downtown action plan — and Brad Segal, president of the Progressive Urban Management Associates (P.U.M.A.), wants the plan to feed off trends affecting communities. Known as the Downtown Matters initiative, the plan will cover downtown Englewood, including areas of South Broadway, the Englewood City Center and areas around Craig Hospital and Swedish Medical Center. The goal of it is to create an economic tool to rebuild and reposition downtown Englewood, as well to encourage private investment in the city. Segal presented a 2020 global trends report from P.U.M.A., an economic development and planning firm that assists downtowns, neighborhoods and communities plan for the future, at an event hosted by the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce on Feb. 27. His presentation correlated with the Downtown Matters initiative, which is expected to be an 11-month planning process. Here are four takeaways from Segal’s presentation. • Englewood needs to appeal to millennials, Segal said. According to Forbes, roughly 75% of the global workforce in 2025 will be millennials — people who were born between the years of 1981 to 1996. SEE TRENDS, P4
