ENGLEWOOD, Colo., February 20, 2024 — Kodiak Building Partners, a leading building materials distribution company, announced its commitment to provide financial support that will advance Colorado’s economy over the long term as a lead investor in the Colorado Chamber of Commerce’s transformative Vision 2033. This 10-year strategic plan aims to foster economic growth and resiliency, focusing on workforce development, housing and cost of living, business climate and environmental sustainability.
With an initial investment of $80,000, Kodiak will facilitate the Chamber’s goals to create measurable impacts on the state’s economic health and make Colorado a top state for business.
“Kodiak’s investment to Vision 2033 is a commitment to actively shape Colorado’s economic landscape,” said Kodiak Building Partners CEO Steve Swinney. “This is our home and we have seen firsthand the negative impact on job creation and affordability because of the rapid rise of new mandates and regulatory burdens on the business community. Vision 2033 is a data-driven, common-sense approach to reversing the tide to return Colorado to a national leader in growth and quality of life where we belong.”
“We are proud to welcome Kodiak Building Partners as a lead investor on our strategic initiative to secure Colorado’s economic future,” said Colorado Chamber President and CEO Loren Furman. “Our goal is to make Colorado a top state for business and expand opportunity for hardworking Coloradans. This message continues to gain momentum as we work to implement the priorities laid out in our plan.”
