OUR ECONOMY Our Growing Economy is Really Going Places For many businesses, Grand Junction is providing 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 still thrives in our climate that has enabled success for generations. Most recently, entrepreneurs in clean energy, healthcare, 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 partners and our steady stream of homegrown talent through Colorado Mesa University – 10,660 students and growing – and businesses are booming. 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 . Start planning for success today.
