What started as the
dream of General William Jackson Palmer has become the community
of choice for cutting edge companies looking for a progressive
business environment, a high performance workforce and an attractive
lifestyle.
In 1870, General Palmer
saw the region as a location with enough scenic wealth to attract
his European and East Coast friends. What started in 1870 continues
today by drawing a diversified group of companies that increase
the job market and a highly educated workforce to fill the job
market demands.
