<br />Summary of Colorado <br />Forecast <br /> <br />· The Metropolitan Front Range will grow <br />above the national average of 1 %, but not as <br />fast as it did in the 1990s. <br /> <br />- Its industrial growth will be somewhat <br />constrained by relatively high living costs. <br /> <br />- A strong part of its growth will be of retirees <br />because of its high proportion of baby- <br />boomers and many attractive areas for <br />retirees. <br /> <br />Summary of Colorado <br />Forecast <br /> <br />· The Resort Counties of the Western Slope <br />will grow strongly, in part, because of an <br />expanding visiting tourism industry. <br /> <br />· Most of the resort county growth will be <br />related to second homes, and this will be a <br />very strong component as baby-boomers <br />move through the related age-groups. <br /> <br />· Further growth will come here as active- <br />retirees make these areas their home. <br /> <br />23 <br />
