The I-70 Corridor Regional Economic Advancement Partnership

REAP's Mission

Stimulate private investment in order to increase opportunities for employment, expand the tax base, broaden the economy and generally improve the quality of life of our citizens.

REAP will assist developers and communities with business prospects. Relocation leads from the state and others will be forwarded to interested parties throughout the I-70 Corridor. A primary goal is to attract employment opportunities compatible with the rural town communities of eastern Adams and Arapahoe Counties.

I-70 Regional Corridor Communities - Demographic Summary

The corridor is defined as the four miles either side of I-70 from Powhawton Road on the west to the Arapahoe/Elbert County line to the east.

The I-70 Corridor

Planning

A regional plan is being developed for the I-70 Corridor. The plan will help create a corridor-wide vision, provide direction, create buy-in for residents, provide some predictability, assure business about opportunities and investment, and help market the corridor. Arapahoe County Planning will lead the effort with active support from Adams County. REAP will help bring interested stakeholders to the project.

A Balanced Housing Plan is currently being developed separately by both counties. When finished, the data will be combined into a special corridor report. Adams County Planning will manage production of this report.

Small Business Seminars

The I-70 Corridor Chamber of Commerce and REAP sponsor Small Business Development Center seminars. They include subjects of interest to new, established and home-based enterprises.

Youth Entrepreneurship

REAP will continue encouraging corridor school districts to expand entrepreneurship training in their classes and youth activities.

Other Activities

REAP will continue to increase corridor visibility by participating in state and regional economic development events; will publicize REAP activities as appropriate; and other activities as directed by the Board Of Directors.
