The City of Westminster recognizes that small businesses are the driving force in the local economy and supports and encourages small business development through a variety of programs. The City provides financial assistance to encourage investment in business improvements and training for its employees, recognizes and honors local business through awards and with advocacy, organizes free training opportunities to build business capacity, and provides technical assistance on a variety of business start-up and support topics.
Each year, the City sets aside the month of November to recognize and thank businesses for their contributions to the Westminster community and this year will be no different. Check back later in the year as the schedule of events and celebration activities are finalized!
Each year the City hosts its annual Business Appreciation Awards luncheon where businesses are recognized and receive awards for Business Legacy, Community Spirit, and Sustainability. See photos from our 2023 event below:
