Citizens Advisory Committee

The National Western Center Citizens Advisory Committee (NWC – CAC) was convened in 2013 by the Western Stock Show Association to provide an opportunity for the community to learn about, have meaningful input on, and be a major participant in, the development of the proposed National Western Center and provide input and feedback throughout the implementation of the Master Plan.

Among other responsibilities, the Citizens Advisory Committee:

• Provides input regarding projects and issues related to the development of the National Western Center;
• Assists in communicating elements of the National Western Center project to the residents and stakeholders in the Globeville, Elyria, Swansea (GES) neighborhoods;
• Advises the National Western Center regarding the needs and desires of the GES neighborhoods in relation to the National Western Center project;
• Identifies potential opportunities and concerns and helps find workable solutions that address the needs of the community at-large;
• Promotes transparency and communication between the partners, the city and the surrounding neighborhoods.
• Works to ensure that the National Western Center build-out meaningfully benefits the adjacent communities in the short- and long-terms.
