In May, SEGD Denver invited Historic Denver and Denver Community & Development Landmark Preservation to host a walking tour of Downtown Denver.  Starting at Union Station, Historic Denver led us on an exploration of warehouse row, historic hotels, and current development.  We learned about the story of Denver's founding, the arrival and impact of the railroad, the growth around Union Station, and the neighborhood's transformation. 

In April SEGD Denver toured Downtown Denver's newest micro-district, Dairy Block with our friends at local art-planning firm Nine Dot Arts to learn about how art can be used as placemaking. Expert curator Chris Roth led us throughout the awesome, mixed-use project and told us about the stories of each piece of art and what it’s like to work with businesses to curate one-of-a-kind art collections to help define brands and places. The tour was super fun with a great, very engaged audience and a unique perspective on the built environment. 

SEGD Denver has welcomed 3 new co-chairs to the chapter in the last year and we are excited  to work together to bring new value, members, events, speakers, tours and programming to the Denver EGD community.
