Denver; a great place for business!

In a study of 19 metro areas across the U.S., Denver ranks #2 as the most competitive place to do business.  The report takes into account three factors: the economy, the environment and equity (how well the wealth and social services are spread out).

Denver follows Seattle and is ahead of Portland (guess weather is not a factor!) in the "sustainable competitiveness" study.

The objective of the study is to determine the areas where a city needs to improve.  Suggesting that cities can no longer focus on one area of improvement.  There are three distinct "quality of life" indicators, are linked, with each effecting the other.

Denver improved it's ranking from #4 last year.  Denver scores highly for it's business climate and ability to attract venture capital funding for start-up companies.  The area needing work is commute time for workers, air quality and early childhood education.

New Parking Option at DIA

Parking at any International Airport can be a challenge, but now Denver's DIA is offering personal garages to those who perfer extra special treatment for their vehicles.  For prices beginning at $15,000 private garage parking within 3 minutes of the terminal will be available.

This unique project has experienced success at smaller scale airports around the country. DIA will be the first large airport to offer the services.

Who will use it?  The second home niche market is the most likely buyer.  People who own vacation homes in the mountains often times like to have their cars available, so now they can safely leave it in a convenient location.

Frequent travelers who spend a lot of time in the air will find the $15,000 price tag a bargain at today's parking prices.
