| MARKET: |
| The Five County Trading Area known as The Grand Valley, is the largest
215,000 population center between Denver and Salt Lake. The Grand Valley
is a High Desert Oasis in the otherwise baron Rocky Mountains and uniquely
distanced far from the umbrella influence of larger neighboring markets.
Grand Junction, Delta and Montrose, Colorado are linked together as
the only contiguous population base located in a Valley 75 miles long
and 25 miles wide surrounded by tall mountains with irrigation from
the Colorado and Gunnison Rivers. The Trading Area is a major transportation,
agricultural, mining, recreation and retail hub for a 200-mile region.
The area holds the largest oil shale reserves in the United States
and in recent years Halliburton’s natural gas drilling has made
a dramatic impact on employment, population growth and wages. Western
Colorado has the fastest population growth in the State. Denver, Texas
and California retirees have found the perfect climate, as have the
wineries and fruit growers. The Denver Post reports the once tiny community
of Montrose is a boomtown. “National retail stores line South
Townsend Avenue in Montrose, which is experiencing record growth. More
than 1,000 people move here annually, with no slowdown in sight.” Montrose
is the 18th fastest growing “micropolitian” area in the
nation according to the U.S. Census Bureau and the population has doubled
since 1990. |
