Nestled at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, Boulder has a special
beauty that is complemented by its rich cultural amenities. Boulder,
the eighth largest city in the state, has a very dynamic economy
supported by computer, aerospace, scientific and research firms.
The University of Colorado, which includes a 143 acre research park,
encourages a productive relationship with the community. These superior
educational and cultural resources make Boulder a fulfilling place
to live and work. Boulder is about 25 miles northwest of Denver,
in the shadows of the magnificent Flatirons, surrounded by 30,000
acres of open space.
