iland, a private, Longmont area company,
has announced the purchase of 14.6 acres in
the Clover Basin Business Park, where it will build
a new 90,000-square-foot building to house its
headquarters.
Wiland is a leading marketing intelligence company serving many of the nation’s top
companies and organizations. Wiland provides solutions to thousands of clients in
a wide variety of markets and industries. Leveraging its vast transactional database,
innovative analytical methodologies, and advanced technology, Wiland delivers a
comprehensive set of services that drive client success. Wiland is growing rapidly
and currently employs over 150 people. The new facility will allow for continued
employment growth.
“We considered several locations for our planned corporate campus,” said Phil Wiland,
President of Wiland. “Our current staff members live in many places, from Windsor
to Littleton. Longmont is a great central location, minimizing commuting distance
for most of our staff. Another important factor was the welcoming approach of the
Longmont Economic Council and the City staff. All things considered, Longmont was
clearly our best choice.”
Wiland worked closely with the Longmont Area Economic Council and the City of
Longmont on an incentive package that would encourage its expansion in Longmont
rather than other communities being considered. The Longmont City Council recently
approved incentives for Wiland to receive a rebate of taxes and building-related fees.

Longmont Start Up Week Summary
T
he inaugural Longmont StartupWeek, by all
accounts, was a resounding success! Longmont
StartupWeek was a week-long celebration of business
and entrepreneurship, held June 1st-5th. It was
a way to get the word out about all the exciting
entrepreneurial happenings in Longmont. By the
end of the week, the event had attracted over 1400
attendees who heard from 90 speakers while mixing
and mingling in dozens of local venues. The Longmont Area Economic Council was a major sponsor of the event
and participated throughout the week on panels, as moderators and as organizers of events.
The week began with a packed house at the Xilinx Retreat Center to listen to keynote speaker, Eric Wallace, recount
his journey founding and growing the Left Hand Brewing Company. The week ended with a VIP Beer Garden
event in downtown Longmont to celebrate the success and incredible energy of the week. In between there were
many panels, speakers, and after hours networking events. The total event budget was $15,000 and involved over 80
volunteers, 14 sponsors and many in kind contributions.

Small Business Highlight: Robin Chocolates
G
rowing up, Robin Autorino never would have imagined becoming an award-winning
chocolatier or pastry chef, being allergic to chocolate from a young age. Seeking adventure,
Robin joined the Navy, which took her overseas for many years. Being far from home was
difficult for this single mother, especially around the holidays, so she and her son would host
dinner parties for fellow sailors and their families. They would spend quality time together
dipping pretzels in chocolate as gifts for their guests, memories she will always cherish. After
14 years in the Navy, Robin entered the technology industry right at the height of the internet
boom. While it paid the bills, Robin decided to follow her passion and pursue a career as a
professional chef. Robin attended the Culinary School of the Rockies, which led her to an
apprenticeship in Avignon, France, working at a local patisserie. Robin was required to taste
everything she made, and she wasn’t about to make excuses or complain about her allergy to a
French pastry chef. Much to her surprise, Robin found out she was not allergic to fine quality
chocolate, only to the common mass market chocolate bars. And so her passion for artisan
chocolates was born.
Robin Chocolates started with just a few wholesale clients in 2008, and opened its doors in Longmont in October,
2011 at 600 S. Airport Rd., Bldg B, Ste. D. In her 1600 square foot facility, Robin offers both wholesale and retail
artisan chocolates, confections, and pastries. Her product line includes roughly 30 different
truffles using high-end Valrhona chocolate from France, 35 pastries, and 15-20 confections.
She has recently extended her line by adding Choctails. (Imagine your favorite cocktail
wrapped in a shell of milk and dark chocolate!) At the age of 12, not knowing at the
time what a special gift she was given, Robin attained a secret original molasses cookie
recipe from Grandma Moses, a renowned American folk artist. She now sells these classic
cookies at her store, which continue to see a growing demand and get rave reviews.
Robin Chocolates has a very loyal and growing following. The majority of Robin’s sales
comes from right here in Longmont and Boulder County. She has successfully
grown her business year over year, seeing the most rapid growth in the first 4 years,
and looks forward to continuing to grow in Longmont.
Over the years, Robin has perfected her craft and collected an impressive list of
awards and accolades for her artisan chocolates, including: 2014 Truffle Grand
Champion at Colorado’s Choctoberfest, 2014 Truffle Grand Champion at
Colorado’s Chocolate Festival, being listed as one of the Top Ten Chocolatiers of
North America by Dessert Professionals magazine, as well as being featured in
Oprah’s ‘O’ Magazine.

Partner Highlight: Golden Companies
olden Companies, a Longmont family-owned business since 1904, is proud to be a
partner with the Economic Council. “Partnership with the Council allows us to be able
to network, and provide our expertise in the moving and storage industry, to the new and
upcoming businesses to our great community! In addition, the networking opportunities
and the support given to us from our partnership with the Longmont Area Economic
Council have opened doors to many new customers for Golden Companies in the short time
we’ve been associated with the organization,” says Vice President, Kevin Reddy.
Golden Companies is a 5th generation, family owned business. They are comprised of three companies.
GOLDEN TRANSFER provides local, intra-state moving and storage, household goods and commercial moving
services. These services include household goods moves, office moving, project management, warehousing,
distribution, delivery and installation. GOLDEN VAN LINES, an agent for ATLAS VAN LINES, and a certified
Woman Owned Business, provides Interstate and International moving services of household goods, electronics,
trade shows, and fine art. GOLDEN ARCHIVES provides secured records management, certified shredding
services, secured pick-up and delivery of sensitive records/documents.
Golden Van Lines began serving families with a total commitment to providing quality relocation solutions over
100 years ago. By combining their past experience, along with their current achievements, they consistently produce
one of the highest levels of service in the relocation industry. “We are among a very select few in the ATLAS
family distinguished by the company’s ultimate measure of excellence, the Milton M Hill Quality Award. Since the
inception of this award 19 years ago, we have been recognized as an award winner 16 times,” says Reddy.
Ultimately, their goal, which is the same as the Longmont Area Economic Council, is to extend a quality service
which produces a positive and lasting experience. They are excited about the next 100 years, and the future they
share with the Economic Council.

Small Business Highlight: A Florae
Looking at owner Rachel Mann’s portfolio and visiting with her about her work, it becomes clear why A Florae
received the “Best of Longmont in Wedding Planning” in 2012, 2013 and 2014. Her passion for floral design shines
through in everything she does. Rachel got her start in West Palm Beach, Florida in 2004, where she worked as an
event planner. One day, she helped with a floral design creation for an event. She loved the experience and quickly
realized that she had a unique talent and eye for floral design. After relocating to San Francisco, and working in
a few floral design shops, she landed her dream job designing for “Best of East Bay” florist, Florali. She worked
side-by-side with award-winner florists designing arrangements for elite San Francisco homes, businesses, weddings
and events. Relocating again to Kansas City, Rachel soon realized that if she wasn’t going to work for a florist of
the caliber with which she worked in San Francisco, that she wanted to open her own shop. While searching for the
perfect location, Rachel visited her sister, who lived in Longmont, and found her niche. Since the majority of her
clients’ events would be in Denver, Lyons, and Estes Park, Longmont provided the perfect centralized location.
Rachel moved to Longmont in 2010, worked as a bartender to save enough
money and eventually bootstrapped the business open in July, 2011. A Florae
is located at 1515 Main Street, Unit D. Rachel does not advertise the location,
as her hours fluctuate and are typically by appointment only. She is primarily a
weddings and events florist, serving all of Colorado and destination weddings
upon request. She currently employs three assistants and is hoping to grow her
business in the future to include more retail space and services.
To view her portfolio of arrangements, visit www.aflorae.com.
Volunteer Highlight: Dietra Porter
D
ietra Porter is a Commercial Lender with AmFirst Bank. AmFirst Bank is a family
owned bank with two locations in Colorado. They offer an array of business and
personal banking options. They specialize in small business lending which includes real
estate construction, commercial real estate financing, equipment purchases, and working
capital lines of credit. Their streamlined process and local decision making delivers a
fresh approach to banking.
“I volunteer with the Economic Council’s Existing Industry committee because it
allows me to visit with business owners, and learn why they’ve chosen Longmont as
their home. I know my friends and neighbors are employed by these businesses, and it
allows me to thank them for their contribution to our local economy. The businesses I toured this year are some of
the most fascinating businesses along the Front Range. Their level of skill and commitment to our community is
truly something worthy of recognition.”
Dietra is a Longmont native and proud graduate of Longmont High School. Shortly after graduation she moved
to Denver, to Phoenix, and back to Denver again after realizing the Colorado winters aren’t as bad as the Arizona
summers! Wanting to be closer to family, they moved back to Longmont in 2013. An opportunity arose in 2014 for
Dietra to get more involved in her community by moving from a large national bank, to a smaller, more community
oriented bank. She is honored with the ability to help the businesses she had frequented for years, as well as the
satisfaction of watching the birth of new businesses all over town. After all, that is what community is all about.
Dietra is married and has two children.

President’s Message
L
ooking back on the first half of 2015, I can’t help but be proud of at what the staff here
at the Longmont Area Economic Council and all of our partners have accomplished
in our efforts to support and strengthen our community’s economic health. They don’t give
me enough room in this newsletter to detail all of these accomplishments, so I am going to
focus on all the work that has been done this year in support of Longmont’s burgeoning
entrepreneurial and small business community.
This year is the first that the Longmont Area Economic Council has been charged with
providing small business development programming and services to Longmont businesses.
We hired a full-time staff member in support of these efforts, and we knew that success
would require collaboration with all of our partners. Through partnerships with the City of
Longmont, Small Business Development Center, LDDA, Longmont Area Chamber of Commerce, Latino Chamber
of Commerce, TinkerMill, and Launch Longmont (and many others!), we have had the opportunity to connect with
and provide resources to dozens of small businesses we could never have reached on our own. As a result of this collaboration, the Economic Council, working with the City and LDDA, have over $45,000 in
small business grants approved or in process through the first half of 2015, compared to $4,000 in all of 2014.
The Economic Council and the SBDC have partnered to provide 433 consulting hours, and six small business
workshops that have drawn 131 attendees. At mid-year 2015, consulting hours are 50% ahead of where they were at
the same time last year, and we are already at workshop attendee count matching attendance for all of 2014.
Under the leadership of TinkerMill and Launch Longmont, in collaboration with every economic development and
business support organization in the community, and supported by thousands of volunteer hours, the Economic
Council had the great privilege to support and participate in a very successful Longmont Startup Week, bringing
entrepreneurial resources to over 1,400 current and future entrepreneurs and innovators.
The Longmont Area Economic Council’s mission is to lead a comprehensive, collaborative economic development
strategy to promote and strengthen our community’s economic health. In order to do this, we must work with all of
our partners to foster an environment in Longmont that encourages the success of all businesses in the community.
We are proud of what we’ve accomplished as a community so far this year, and can’t wait to see what we will
accomplish together going forward!
