Conoco Phillips Comes To Louisville
It’s now official, Conoco Phillips will begin constructing its global training and new energy research and development facility at the former StorageTek / Sun Microsystems campus in Louisville Colorado. This is big news for Superior, Louisville, and Broomfied for sure!
ConocoPhillips has submitted plans to Louisville Colorado city officials, and the expectation is that ConocoPhillips will open the first phase of the project — as much as 1.6 million square feet of the new facility — by 2013.
Think this isn’t a big deal yet? I hope you follow the positive impact we’ve been talking about on the local economy. In it’s hay-day, Storage Tek employed about 4000 workers. When the third and final phase of the ConocoPhillips facility is fully up and running, ConocoPhillips’ own reports say they expect to employ approximately double that number of people.
What about all the ancillary jobs due to construction, associated businesses’ growth, and the big topic that hits most of us: housing prices?

Valley Bank Opens Louisville Post Office
On the heels of Louisville announcing that the old downtown post office is closing, I’ve learned earlier this month that Valley Bank and Trust in Louisville now has a contract post office at it’s location.
This won’t fix your problem if you’ve been used to using the old Louisville post office, and the convenience factor of walking to that location. It won’t help with some other services that a main post office provides either. Read more
