Local Economy
North Metro Denver's economy, while somewhat bumpy right now, is benefiting enormously by the large amount of high-tech corporations such as Sun Microsystems, StorageTek and Motorola, Avaya Technology, Ball Aerospace, and others that are being attracted here.
A new technology community called the Interlocken Business Park is attracting huge technical companies bringing executives from out of state to fill many jobs. While some companies have laid off employees in the last few years, many businesses and large corporations are booming and capitalizing on the economy pickup. Medical technology and oil and gas are doing especially well.
