John Frank, co-author of Axios Denver’s online newsletter, wrote up my recent presentation to Denver metro mayors. Some of his observations:
Population Growth- Population growth is flat
- Job growth is slowing
- Sales tax collections are falling
- Real estate values are steady
- Welcome to “the new era of austerity” in Colorado as described to metro mayors recently by pollster Floyd Ciruli.
- The stalled economic pictures comes as costs continue to escalate and federal dollars are vanishing.
- “The new era will require shifting priorities, including increasing the focus on the economy and directing government’s attention to small business, job creation and cost of living.”
