New Year, New Opportunities for Greeley!
It’s the first week of January 2020 and we have big plans for this year. There are many ways to help our investors succeed and advance the needs of commerce, taking Greeley to the next level. One of the most important ways we do this is through our advocacy efforts.
The first regular session of the 72nd Colorado General Assembly is upon us. From January 8 through May 7, legislators will meet and debate important issues affecting the state of Colorado and our city and we will be there every step of the way making sure the business voice is heard. We will work closely to make sure that policy proposals promote economic growth and prosperity in Greeley area. The work is done in partnership with the Northern Colorado Legislative Alliance (NCLA) with partners from Fort Collins and Loveland.
Our legislative priorities for this session are:
•
Ensure transportation and infrastructure remains a cornerstone to a viable and healthy through funding and advocacy
•
Protect oil and gas as a legacy industry for Weld County and the traditional energy sector for its contributions to the state
•
Convey the importance of healthcare to the Greeley and Northern Colorado economy
•
Support education through talent and workforce initiatives as Greeley’s economic competitiveness and quality of life depend on their success
•
Protect and support the development of water resources for our region
•
Support the agriculture sector of our economy, maintaining our status as an agricultural leader
We are united to drive economic growth with one voice, one mission and as one region. As a region and as a city, we want to grow opportunities, create and retain jobs, foster a robust workforce and represent our city as the best place to build a business, career and future.
To the Great that Awaits in 2020!
Jaime Henning CCE, President & CEO
