Ribbon cutting ceremony celebrates workforce center's move to Greenwood Village

It was not just Greenwood Village Mayor Nancy Sharpe who welcomed Arapahoe/Douglas Works! to the neighborhood during a ceremonial ribbon cutting May 8, but a large flock of Canada geese as well. Their honks choreographed to the applause during the ceremony.

While the primary reason for the Workforce Center's move was to consolidate its locations into a regional center that is better equipped to serve the entire Metro Denver Area, staff are enjoying the opportunity to get an up close look at their wildlife neighbors.

"Investing in human capital for sustained economic vitality is the mission of A/D Works! and positioning the workforce center in the south metro area economic hub supports this goal 100 percent," said Arapahoe County Commissioner Jim Dyer.

A/D Works! is now located in the CO Bank Center, 5500 S. Quebec St., Ste. 175 in Greenwood Village and conveniently located on RTD's Light Rail Orchard Station and next to some nesting Canada geese.

"We are privileged and proud to partner with Arapahoe County to continue to build the region's workforce," said Douglas County Commissioner Steve Boand. "This new location strategically places A/D Works! in the hub of one of the largest burgeoning economic centers in the U.S."

Arapahoe County Commissioner Pat Noonan also thanked the staff for their dedication and commitment to serving job seekers and businesses. Attendees toured the new facility and learned about the wide variety of programs that A/D Works! administers to strengthen the metro Denver region's workforce.
