For Immediate Release
Alameda Corridor Business Improvement District Releases Business Safety Survey
Lakewood, CO, April 16, 2025 – Amidst property owner perceptions about public safety, the Alameda Corridor Business Improvement District (ACBID) in Lakewood, CO recently launched a crucial Business Safety Survey, directly targeting businesses and commercial property owners along the vital Alameda Avenue corridor (Sheridan Blvd. to Carr St.). This initiative is part of ACBID’s strategy to protect and enhance the value of commercial real estate in the corridor, proactively prevent criminal activity and increase perceptions of safety.
Impact of Perceptions of Safety on Property Values and Tenant and Customer Attraction
“We know a safe and responsive environment is essential for businesses to thrive,” says Tom Quinn, Executive Director of Alameda Connects and ACBID. “This survey isn’t just about collecting data; it’s about understanding the challenges our business owners may face and working together to find solutions to empower our taxpayers to be part of the solution.” ACBID knows that tenant retention, tenant attraction, and ultimately property values are all influenced by the perceived safety of the area.
Data-Driven Strategies to Support Commercial Real Estate
The five-minute survey, accessible at www.alamedaconnects.org, is designed to capture real-world experiences and pinpoint specific hotspots. The insights gleaned will directly inform the development of targeted crime prevention strategies, including:
- Prevention Measures: Exploring options like funding natural surveillance, access controls, reinforcements, additional maintenance, and community activities.
- Collaborative Partnerships: Facilitating stronger ties with local law enforcement to ensure swift response and effective crime prevention.
- Infrastructure Improvements: Advocating for enhancements that support public safety, reduce blight and improve the overall attractiveness of the corridor.
- Grant Opportunities: Offering grant opportunities to support security upgrades and crime prevention techniques.
Incentivizing Participation and Demonstrating Commitment
- To encourage participation and underscore the ACBID’s dedication to the commercial real estate community, one respondent will be randomly selected to receive a $50 gift card to their favorite Alameda-area business. This not only rewards engagement but also directly supports the local business economy.
