USA Today features Fort Collins

July 19th, 2010

What does Fort Collins have in common with the following places: Silicon Valley, CA; New York City, NY; Huntsville, AL; Fort Wayne, IN? All five cities were recently profiled by USA Today as cities on the rebound.

In exploring Fort Collins’ recovery, two key factors were highlighted: (1) the region is backed by Colorado State University (CSU) – a large, steady employer and (2) the city has embraced the new energy economy. The Rocky Mountain Innovation Initiative (RMI2) and CSU’s Green Power Project are just two examples of these important factors of success at work.
