Wheat Ridge Business District

The Wheat Ridge Business District (WRBD) was formed in a joint partnership between local business owners and the City of Wheat Ridge to help revitalize 38th Avenue - the City's traditional "Main Street."  The effort has been expanded to serve businesses throughout the City of Wheat Ridge. 

The Wheat Ridge Business District administers a Revitalization Incentive Program (RIP) providing matching grant assistance for facade, and sign improvements, and design assistance for Wheat Ridge businesses.
Revitalization Incentive Program Grant applications are due by the last Thursday of the month.
