AAMD Hosts Lakewood Mayor Roundtable
AAMD and Lakewood community members listen to newly elected Mayor Adam Paul on April 1 .
The Apartment Association of Metro Denver hosts frequent Mayor ’ s Roundtables around the Denver Metro Area . In the past , we have hosted discussions in Northglenn , Englewood , Thornton , Denver and Wheat Ridge . This quarter , the Association hosted a Mayor ’ s Roundtable in Lakewood at the Westlink at Oak Station Apartments , which is managed by Greystar . The roundtable took place on Friday , April 1st .
AAMD members from the Lakewood area and those who wanted to attend and meet city leadership joined in the event . Newly elected Mayor Adam Paul led the discussion and was joined by several of his City Council colleagues , as well as several staff members from the city . This roundtable focused on multifamily housing de-
velopment , vacancy rates , affordable housing and Lakewood ’ s Crime Free Housing program . Overall , the goal was to provide our members the chance to build relationships with their city leadership and open the dialogue to foster future discussions . This forum also allowed Mayor Paul to share his vision for the city and discuss current issues pertinent to the industry .
The Apartment Association of Metro Denver plans to host the next roundtable discussion in Aurora . If you are interested in meeting your city leadership , please let us know .
