Louisville Colorado |
Louisville Colorado has
approximately 18,500 residents and is located in Boulder County about 8.5 east
of Boulder and 25 miles northwest of Denver. Historically, during the time
period of 1890 to 1928, over 30 coal mines were located in and around
Louisville. In 1952 the last of these mines closed. Flowers and a golf course
now flourish with never a hint of the mining history and underground passageways
they now cover.
The transition between the old and new communities has
been carefully planned. Abundant recreation activities are now available,
including vast acres of open space, major ski areas within 110 miles, gambling
at Blackhawk/Central City within 50 miles, and the Recreation and Senior Center.
The Coal Creek Golf Course of 6,957 yards is designed to feature the natural
terrain of the land and provides an exciting challenge for the novice as well as
the more accomplished player. The city provides small town living with easy
access to the economic and cultural opportunities of metropolitan areas. The
spectacular scenery of the Rocky Mountains to the west is only a few miles
away.
Home for the past 35 years, Storage Technology Corporation (STC) is
the maker of large, powerful data storage tape libraries and disk systems. Its
new library system can store the equivalent of 75 million compact discs. The
company was modestly started in a cramped upper level office space.
In 2005, Storage Tek was sold to Sun Microsystems. In 2008,
ConocoPhillips bought the 432 acre campus for $58,500,000 with the futuristic
concept to research hydrogen fuel cells, solar/wind power, clean diesel fuel,
and to build a global training and technology center for Renewable Energy.
In an April 2010 meeting, the Louisville City Council approved Conoco
Phillips' preliminary plans for a 2,500,000 square foot campus. The first phase
is scheduled to open in 2013 with additional phases planned over the next 22
years.
The town today...nostalgic charm of Main Street and the past. High
tech businesses now flourish throughout the city. The rich heritage of
traditions and values form the present day foundation for a thriving modern
community.
In 2011, Louisville was awarded the No. 1 Place To Live for small towns by
Money Magazine...lots of high tech jobs, academic school system, safe streets,
advanced health care, and easy access to Denver, Boulder and the mountains.
