About Los Alamos Commerce & Development

Building a vibrant community through a thriving economy.

About

The Los Alamos Commerce & Development Corporation (LACDC) was founded in 1983 by community-minded visionaries, and since that time, has played an important role in the development of the Los Alamos community. There are few local businesses or organizations that have not been clients, customers or constituents of LACDC’s diverse service offerings; and there are few residents who have not attended or taken part in one of our many community events. A common thread that runs through all we do is that we are committed to helping build a robust business community.

Our award-winning Los Alamos MainStreet and Creative District program produces and supports downtown events and downtown redevelopment initiatives. The Los Alamos Chamber of Commerce facilitates connections – by advocating for economic initiatives to improve our community and helping members be visible through networking and promotional initiatives. The Discover Los Alamos program assists tourists and visitors, and helps local businesses and attractions promote themselves.

Our properties, which includes Los Alamos Research Park, the Los Alamos Small Business Center, and projectY cowork Los Alamos, provide places for economic activities to start, grow and succeed in the community.
