Tourist Attractions - Urban Renewal Changes The Face Of Colorado

Posted on September 24, 2008 - Filed Under Business

Dramatic changes across Colorado offer fresh vistas, delightful getaways, and irresistible tourist attractions. Whether you’re visiting in Colorado Springs where visible gateways unite the crossroads of Interstate 25 and US Highway 24, or Lamar, where US Highway 50 and US Highway 287 run along the same strip of black ribbon for more than fifteen miles, you’re in for a treat!

To say there’s more to Colorado than the Rocky Mountains is an understatement these days as Prairie Ghost Town Tours, restored residential sectors, and fresh faced communities all across the state welcome tourists and home-towners alike. Marketing Colorado is a new idea whose time has come.

Activity Centers, new work sites, living communities, and tourism in the center of Colorado Communities offers new opportunity to the state. As more and more people seek out foot-traffic friendly communities, the downtown areas of even small towns are becoming more attractive.

At 58, when Don Falk suffered a heart attack, his Doctors told him he was free to return home and do normal activities. He didn’t share with them that normal activities included a jog up and down a flight of 20 or more steps multiple times each day. When he returned for his check-up three weeks later, they were astounded at his improved health.

Living in a Main Street Walk-Up offered invigorating health benefits. Working in the same environment as he lived, Don knew everyone in the community and had learned to appreciate new faces in the Main Street sector where he worked and lived.

By participating in Urban Sprawl we’ve excluded the community from our lives. Our children grow up not knowing their neighbors. Our neighbors come and go, and we never get to know them. Living in a downtown area offers closer proximity, more opportunity, and greater integration of friendly open faces that welcome you home as business owners live and work together for the greater benefit of their community.

Colorado is beefing up their downtown areas with condos, live-work units above retail stores, rental units, and family homes on the Main Drag. Replacing the run-down industrial areas with life giving fresh facades and urban oriented growth offers great appeal to young urban-oriented couples and empty nesters as well as a diverse group of metropolitan folks who don’t necessarily want to live in the Big City, just the ‘city’.
