BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

The San Luis Valley has a background in agriculture, mining and timber.  In recent years, the mining and timber has declined with tourism and other small cottage-type industries increasing.  The Valley is planning proactively for our future.  There are still many business opportunities for niche products and services that have already been developed in larger markets.  Property tax levels in the Valley are lower than the average for Colorado.
