More Research in Boulder County - Conoco Phillips Comes to Town


Horrified was first reaction by some hard core Boulderites to the announcement that Conoco Phillips bought the 432 acres in Louisville, once owned by Storage Tek. The truth is that this is going to be a educational facility as well as a hub for renewable energy research. The National Renewable Energy Laboratories is only miles away in Golden Colorado. The new jobs created will surely in the thousands. There will most likely be ongoing cooperative research with the University of Colorado and the School of Mines. It's not going to be another Commerce City as some of the bloggers in the area fear. I think we can look forward to a fantastic neighbor and a source of reliable employment for years to come. Of course this will be another reason to invest in Boulder County real estate. Our local market is stable.
