The Longmont Economic Gardening Initiative (LEGI) offers Longmont businesses a variety of
resources aimed at improving competitiveness and stability for a stronger economic base.
Developed from a collaborative effort among local economic development agencies, LEGI
brings together a collection of tools under one umbrella, making it easier for business owners
