Try reading something besides what the City and Gateway write. Business investment is on the uptick everywhere in the metro area. You simply cannot discern whether or not a company came because of the incentive package, it is very likely the business would have come regardless, again, because the market is right for long term profits.....a few dollars in incentives up front that might represent 1 or 2% of start up costs and even less of the overall projected revenue of the life of the business is not the critical issue, the incentive merely becomes an added bonus to the business. Please take off your rose colored glasses for just a moment and try thinking logically, like a business person and not like a City employee, which I think all of us have figured out that you are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787227658370252666.post-77786944690353532992010-12-31T04:46:14.472-07:002010-12-31T04:46:14.472-07:00Commerce City incentive program has created 450 ne...Commerce City incentive program has created 450 new jobs and generated about $33 million in capital improvements!

Walmart has not come yet, King Soopers has not come yet, and again if you think national corporations looking to mine many many millions over many many years make their decision based on up front incentives and who is on City Council you are just ignorant. The aggressive incentive package is excessive giveaways to businesses that will locate here regardless if the market is right for long term revenues. No taxes from businesses then no roads no parks and no recreation centers or sports fields or other activities for us and our children up here in the wastelands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787227658370252666.post-27258695571691584062010-12-30T02:38:11.671-07:002010-12-30T02:38:11.671-07:00Hey Commerce City, aren't you glad you jumped ...Hey Commerce City, aren't you glad you jumped in bed with the Chinese?<br /><br />http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101229/ap_on_bi_ge/as_china_peaceful_riseArchernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787227658370252666.post-57009278606243984422010-12-29T17:06:04.889-07:002010-12-29T17:06:04.889-07:00I beg to differ.
