Other Work
The "Bottom-Up" tour reinforced a well-known fact: agriculture is a major economic engine for Colorado.  Our office has worked to build awareness about the importance of the Colorado agriculture industry, and as a result, agriculture is now identified as a Key Industry within the Colorado Blueprint.  We are also overseeing a benchmark study to characterize Colorado's food and agriculture industry, linkages, and potential.  For more information regarding these and other projects, visit our Office of Community and Economic Development Projects page.
