I live in Fort Collins right now attending Colorado State in my last year and went to high school in Loveland and must say I am very surprised at this.
With that being said, over the last 5 years this area has seen a lot of growth, with a lot of college grads staying in the area professionally.
In Loveland, a start-up called MadWire [0] sprouted up while I was attending Loveland High and is thriving now. They are even looking for a $500,000 incentive from the city to expand their 5+ story building over-looking Loveland Lake, and are likely going to get it to bring in new jobs to the city.
My girlfriend also recently got a front-desk job at Propel Labs [1], a new bio-tech start up located in downtown Fort Collins that has a great company culture.
This makes me really excited to graduate as I hope to get on with a start up in the area. Colorado is a great place to live and I have no intention of leaving.
