Hotel Longmont

On November 15, 2022, the Longmont City Council voted to move forward on a proposal to develop a five-story boutique hotel in downtown Longmont to be located at the northwest corner of Kimbark and 3rd Avenue. The City has partnered with the Longmont Downtown Development Authority (LDDA), the General Improvement District (GID) and The Thrash Group on this plan.

The proposed hotel currently includes approximately 84 guest rooms, 5,000 square feet of destination rooftop restaurant space, 2,000 to 4,000 square feet of meeting space, 2,000 square feet of commercial space, about 65 hotel parking spaces and about 75 public parking spaces.

Safety & Justice Center Renovations

In 2018, City of Longmont voters approved funding for the rehabilitation and improvements to City buildings including the Safety & Justice Center (3rd Avenue and Kimbark). Structural improvements were identified and rehabilitation began in 2022. Repairs to the structure are being made to slow further deterioration while extending the life expectancy of the building by fifty years. Proposed enhancements will remove failing precast concrete. The building footprint will also be expanded to allow for current and future space needs while providing additional safety measures.
