WELCOME

A diverse coalition of community, government and business organizations have launched a broad study to chart a course for the future of economic development in the Pikes Peak, Colorado region. Operation 60ThirtyFive is a multi-faceted, six-month project to develop a comprehensive regional economic development strategic plan for the Pikes Peak region.

AngelouEconomics (AE), an economic development consulting firm based in Austin, Texas, will tap into focus groups, community leaders and the general public to create a shared vision for the region’s economic future, assess the regions’ current competitiveness, and outline specific implementation strategies.

This community based economic development strategy has six objectives:

1. Create a shared vision for the economic future of the Pikes Peak region
2. Assess the region's current competitiveness
3. Identify specific high impact target industries
4. Recommend organizational, programmatic and structural improvements to support the mission of the Colorado Springs Economic Development Corporation of high quality job growth
5. Outline a specific implementation plan
6. Establish tangible performance metrics

We want this project to be a public process and we encourage all community citizens to get involved. This website will be your main tool to stay involved and follow our progress. Your input is essential to the success of this project!  Here is how you can get involved:

• Complete the surveys
  • Business Survey
  • Resident Survey
• Read recent news and reports
