The Jefferson County Business Lobby (JCBL) represents four business organizations: Arvada Chamber of Commerce, Greater Golden Chamber of Commerce, Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation, and the West Chamber Serving Jefferson County. Our mission is to advocate for business with government.

For 2012 the JCBL is very concerned about the retention of current jobs and the ability of the state to attract to new jobs to Colorado. JCBL members are companies that range from very small to large corporations. Business is the backbone of Colorado’s economy and its ability to sustain the state’s transportation system, education both higher education and K-12 and provide necessary revenues for state, county and local governments. JCBL urges members of the 2012 General Assembly to keep in mind that these businesses need their support and consideration to keep jobs they have and the ability to grow as the recession wanes. Our communities are made up of small employers who feel the impacts of governmental fees and mandates very quickly and these actions translate in job losses in this day’s economy.
