Economic Burden
Key Message(s)
Redtail Ridge is NOT a NET POSITIVE for our community. It creates NEW Economic Burdens.
Bullet Points
Many buildings in the city remain vacant and many lots remain available for development (e.g. Alfalfa's, Kohl’s, Outback, Carabba’s)
After 20 years, over 20% of land in Centennial Valley remains undeveloped and nearly 7% of land in the CTC is also undeveloped.
Tenants will be Siphoned from existing Commercial and Industrial space – much of which is currently Vacant or Undeveloped..
Redtail Ridge employees will be closer and have easier access to Broomfield where the Promised Retail Sales tax Benefits will accrue.
Numerous REQUIRED Traffic Improvements will be an UNFUNDED TAXPAYER MANDATE. The Louisville City Council IGNORED Staff Recommendation to REQUIRE THE DEVELOPER to PAY for all these improvements
Projected $1.2M positive fiscal impact Does NOT account for new business incentives which Louisville routinely offers as part of our Economic Vaiilaty Program.

Wrong for Louisville
Key Message(s)
Redtail Ridge will Diminish our Quality of Life
Displaced residents should be our first priority
Bullet Points
Three Million square feet is twice the size of the old StorageTek campus.
23 former Sam’s Clubs or 30 Louisville Recreation Centers (including parking lots.)
Five-story buildings Higher than any other Louisville building.
20,000+ Additional Car Trips will increase traffic congestion diminishing air quality across our community - 96th street will see an 55-77% increase in traffic.
Develops Acres of previously untouched, Pristine Sensitive Wildlife Habitats north of Disk Drive.
This Car-Dependent Development means MORE Air Pollution and an INCREASED Carbon Footprint contributing to Climate Change
A Denver-based investment firm wants to divert critical resources away from Louisville families rebuilding their damaged and destroyed homes.
City resources are needed to rebuild critical infrastructure, and expedite planning, permitting, and inspection services for homeowners who are rebuilding. Not serving the needs of a developer building a sprawling office park that threatens our small town character and clogs up our roads with traffic.
Managing the logistics of rebuilding hundreds of homes simultaneously, while initiating a commercial development that represents 8% of Louisville's land, will strain City Staff and could create significant delays for homeowners.
