Responsibility . Relionships ECONOMIC PROFILE & MARKET FACTS 2019 | 1 Boom continues PUBLISHER’S NOTE in Boulder Valley, Northern Colorado The numbers speak volumes: Low unemployment, strong population gains, surging bank deposits, growing economies. These are just some of the trends that can be identified in the Boulder Valley and Northern Colorado by perusing the 2019 edition of the Economic Profile & Market Facts, an annual publi- cation of BizWest Media LLC. Almost without exception, communities in the region added population in the most-recent period available, but that hasn’t Christopher Wood Jeff Nuttall done much to alter the low unemployment rates that prevail in Boulder, Broomfield, Larimer and Weld counties. While low unemployment is good, it also points to widespread labor short- ages. Strong gains in gross domestic product point to a regional economy that shows few signs of slowing down. This publication provides insights on local communities and dominant industries such as aerospace, agribusiness, bioscience, clean tech, energy, natural products, the outdoor industry, tech- nology and other sectors. This year, we’ve added extended profiles of some of the re- gion’s fastest-growing communities, with statistical information provided for other communities of 5,000 population and up. As always, readers also will find a wealth of resources, includ- ing contact information for chambers of commerce, economic- development agencies, Small Business Development Centers and workforce centers. As always, we welcome your ideas for new features, charts or statistics and hope that you enjoy this overview of a very special region.

Problem Statement What specific Metro Vision-related regional problem/issue will the transportation project address? The Mall’s two greatest transportation challenges involve limited sidewalk capacity that jeopardizes pedestrian safety by increasing the opportunity for pedestrian/shuttle conflict; and frequent and costly maintenance of pavers that impede transit operations and negatively affect mobility and access to businesses and other destinations. Increased sidewalk congestion encourages pedestrians to travel in the transitway.

  • I Colorado (And So Will You)
    I Colorado (and So Will You) An Opinionated Local’s Guide to Denver and Beyond Exclusively for the 2012 AIUSA AGM Participants Howdy? Well, Denver doesn’t have its own greeting, but it has a lot to offer! While you are in the Mile High City to learn about human rights, enjoy the area’s great attractions. This guide (which is not an official publication of Amnesty International USA) gives a crash-course on Colorado’s past, present, lingo, historical venues, natural attractions, and restaurants in the vicinity and beyond of the Denver Marriott City Center – the site of the AIUSA AGM. For more tips, visit denver.org, colorado.com, or walk to the Visit Denver Information Center on 16th and California, one block south of Marriott. If you want another opinionated source of what to do, go to westword.com/bestOf/. Also, in the hotel room there are two guides to Denver (the large one has good maps). You can get a third one from the concierge desk, as well as a driving map of Colorado. To navigate in Denver, use your cardinal directions (or a GPS). Colorado is made of mountains (West) and plains (East). When you see the mountains in the Front Range, you are looking West. The reverse is East. If you are looking at the mountains, your left is South and right is North. Capisce? Denver is 5,280 feet above sea level. If you live in lower altitudes, you may feel dizzy and breathe with difficulty here. Stay hydrated – 8 glasses a day (alcohol doesn’t count; in fact, alcohol’s effects are stronger in higher altitudes).

  • Confluence TAP Report 8.21.08
    ULI Colorado Urban Land Institute, Colorado District Council Leadership in Responsible Land Use ―The Confluence‖ Advisory Panel, Technical Assistance Program Services (TAPS) June 10-11, 2008 BACKGROUND The Urban Land Institute (ULI) is a Washington, DC-based international 501-c-3 nonprofit organization that brings together professionals involved in real estate development, including investors, developers, architects, designers, planners, public officials and others committed to creating projects that strengthen communities and embody far-sighted design principles. The mission of the ULI is leadership in responsible land use to create sustainable and thriving communities worldwide. The Colorado District Council of the Urban Land Institute (ULI Colorado) was established in 1998 and now has nearly 1,500 members representing 26 land-use disciplines. ULI Colorado conducts educational activities and community outreach focused on transit-oriented development (TOD), workforce housing, compact regional growth, urban and suburban redevelopment, and related topics, and also organizes Advisory Panels through its Technical Assistance Program Services (TAPS) to examine the best possible development alternatives for a particular site. In 2008 ULI Colorado was asked by the panel sponsors (Suppa Corporation, the City and County of Denver, and Denver Councilwoman Judy Montero) to provide recommendations regarding design elements that should be included in the redevelopment of ―The Confluence‖ property at 15th and Little Raven. The sponsors wanted a reliable source that could offer nonpartisan, un-biased expertise to provide concrete action steps and creative solutions that would assist them in determining the appropriate height, density and intensity for development of the site. On June 10 and 11, 2008 a volunteer TAPS advisory panel convened by ULI Colorado and composed of ULI members came together to look at the development options.
