| Nestled
at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in the heart of Colorado is a city like no other in the
world. Boulder Valley. What makes this community of 87,000 people such a special place is
the unique quality of life its residents enjoy. Boulder Valley brings together the
features to accommodate a diverse array of individual lifestyles, cultural interests,
business enterprises, and educational and employment needs. Besides its spectacular scenery, Boulder Valley offers beautiful
parks, mountain trails, a variety of visual and performing arts, unusual shops and
restaurants, and our own neighborhood ski area, Eldora Mountain Resort.
Boulder Valley balances a healthful environment with
healthy economic and technological development. In addition to many small, entrepreneurial
businesses, major employers include companies and federal research laboratories such as
IBM, Ball Aerospace, the National Institute for Standards and Technology and the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Adding to Boulder Valley's progressive spirit is the
University of Colorado, the academic and cultural centerpiece of the community. CU has
played a leading role in the city's rich historical past and today continues to enhance
the atmosphere of higher learning, imagination and inspiration that exists here. Further,
Boulder Valley has one of the best primary and secondary school systems in the Rocky
Mountain region. |
