“The secret is out, Colorado is the best place to live, work, play, start a family, and grow a business. The numbers don’t lie, and I am excited to see Colorado’s population grow despite trends across the nation. Here in Colorado, we are focused on investing in our communities by breaking down barriers to housing, expanding workforce and job opportunities, and investing in families and schools.
The actions we are taking to make it easier to build new homes are effective in keeping rents and home prices stable while building more housing people can afford. More Coloradoans helps bolster our economy, expand business ventures, and bring fresh ideas to our great state. I look forward to welcoming even more people to Colorado as we move further into the new year,” said Governor Polis.
