Grand Junction – a Trailhead to Opportunity
For many businesses, Grand Junction provides a unique opportunity that other areas simply can’t. The outdoor recreation industry enjoys having a state-of-the-art testing ground just outside the office door, while the agricultural industry thrives in a climate that has enabled success for generations. More recently, entrepreneurs in technology, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing are taking advantage of our ample natural resources and central location between Denver and Salt Lake City, Utah.
Grand Junction was the first city in the nation to offer entrepreneurs an eight-year tax holiday through Jump-Start Mesa County. Add to this our collaborative economic development efforts and our steady stream of homegrown talent through Colorado Mesa University – 10,660 students and growing – and Grand Junction businesses are primed for success. The City of Grand Junction and the Grand Junction Economic Partnership (GJEP) are working together to help you bring or start your business here. Visit GJEP.org.
