Spokane’s University District is where business and education grow together and where people are coming to live, learn, work, and play. COVID-19 is impacting every part of life and while we are still helping support new development, if you are experiencing challenges we encourage you to visit the following resources (due to overlapping content they are listed in the recommended order of review):

Greater Spokane Inc. (GSI) – regularly updated resources and tools for businesses in Spokane County
Washington State Business Resources – statewide assistance, tools, and updates
City of Spokane – connections to various resources and updated City recovery plans

The University District continues to offer opportunities to promote economic development, smart urban growth, environmental restoration, historic preservation, arts and culture, recreation, and state of the art transportation. This is an urban laboratory creating new knowledge and applied, community-engaged research, resulting in increased regional prosperity and improved quality of life. With five major universities, two medical school programs, top-notch community colleges, a nationally recognized smart city testbed, and a burgeoning life sciences ecosystem, this is an idea-generating and innovation-focused community to its core.
