Area Info

Colorado Springs has consistently been recognized as one of the nation's most desirable places to live, earning top rankings from U.S. News & World Report. Nestled at the base of majestic Pikes Peak—known as "America's Mountain" and the inspiration for Katharine Lee Bates' America the Beautiful—our city offers an exceptional quality of life.

As Olympic City USA, Colorado Springs embraces an active and healthy lifestyle. The city has expanded its extensive network of biking and hiking trails, making outdoor recreation and alternative transportation more accessible than ever. Downtown is home to a 10,000-seat stadium that hosts the Colorado Springs Switchbacks soccer team, adding to the city's vibrant sports culture. With a metropolitan population of approximately 688,000, Colorado Springs offers the amenities of a larger city while maintaining the charm and accessibility of a smaller community. Colorado also consistently ranks among the healthiest states in the nation.

Businesses continue to relocate and expand in Colorado Springs because of its favorable tax environment, business-friendly policies, skilled workforce, and attractive climate. Major employers include Amazon, Ball Corporation, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Datavail, Gates Corporation, HomeAdvisor, Jeppesen, L3Harris Technologies, Lockheed Martin, and many others.

The Colorado Springs Airport continues to expand its service, offering convenient nonstop flights to destinations such as Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Orlando, Chicago, Houston, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Dallas, Washington, D.C., and many other major cities, making travel easier for both residents and businesses.

Our military community remains one of the strongest pillars of the local economy. The region is home to the U.S. Air Force Academy, Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever Space Force Base, and Fort Carson. These installations provide employment opportunities not only for military personnel but also for thousands of civilian and government employees. Colorado Springs is also home to NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command), located within Cheyenne Mountain.

The combination of major employers, military installations, and a growing population makes Colorado Springs an excellent place to start or expand a business. Organizations such as the Economic Development Corporation, the Chamber & EDC, and the Small Business Development Center provide valuable resources, guidance, and incentives to support entrepreneurs and businesses of all sizes.

Tourism is another significant contributor to the local economy. Visitors from around the world come to experience iconic destinations such as The Broadmoor, The Antlers, The Cliff House, Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, and numerous other attractions.
