Discover Arvada features business directories for four categories: food and drink, retail and shopping, health and wellness, and activities. The directory also features business spotlights and will soon include insider guides — which will highlight date night ideas, family activities, and holiday gift ideas. Samantha Geerdes, the senior vice president of business services for the Greater Arvada Chamber of Commerce, said the initiative started from a desire to encourage residents to support local businesses, no matter the occasion. “The Arvada Chamber and the Arvada Resilience Taskforce decided to launch Discover Arvada because we want our residents to find local treasures in their own backyard,” Geerdes said.
