Prioritize Colorado’s competitiveness agenda; reimagine tomorrow’s workforce; and invest in “future-forward” infrastructure.
The project collected the skill, insights and hard data from 30 business leaders affiliated with the Colorado Business Roundtable and the economists and supporters of the Common Sense Institute think tank in Denver.
The work is expected to continue for a couple of years involving more business leaders as the recovery progresses, said Debbie Brown, the president of Colorado Business Roundtable.
The report is not all bad news, but it’s not very good, either. Colorado had one of the best economies in the country for labor and business climate and that’s something good to build on, but since those measures were taken the state has lost 125,000 jobs and slipped a little from its high rankings.

Colorado businesses start Road to Recovery Initiative to get employees working again
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) - Leaders from a wide range of industries and backgrounds are working together to develop recommendations for getting Coloradans back to work.
This week marks the launch of The Road to Recovery Initiative developed by the Colorado Business Roundtable and Common Sense Institute.
Organizers told KRDO an executive from Governor Jared Polis office is assisting the project, which includes local leaders from big corporations like AT&T, BP, and IBM.
Local businesses and organizations like ARC Thrift Stores, Buckley AFB, the Colorado Contractors Association, the Colorado Association of Realtors are also participating.
In recent months, we ve documented the increasing challenges facing average house hunters in Denver, thanks to one of the most unexpected and unpredictable boom markets in local real estate history. But the struggle doesn t stop at city limits. Across Colorado, high demand that continues to outstrip inventory has increased the difficulty of finding a home to call your own without breaking the bank or robbing one.
That s one of the takeaways from a new overview by the Colorado Association of Realtors. The organization reached out to members across the state to get their take on the 2020 market where they live and work, and the story is the same almost everywhere: more buyers than there are houses, resulting in a seller s market that continues to drive prices up, up, up, with no end in sight.
