The end of the legislative session is near! Secure your table for the Denver Metro Chamber and @COCompetes's State of the State, presented by @xcelenergy. We have invited Gov. Polis and business leaders to share their insights from session. Learn more: bit.ly/3I317KE

Thank you, @ColoradoChamber and @COCompetes, for opposing SB24-033 and recognizing the detrimental economic impacts this will have on Colorado’s mountain communities (cc: @AspenCO @GWSChamber @SummitChamber @SteamboatCO)

@COHouseGOP @DenChamber Thank you for being part of this morning's conversation! We're ready to get to work, too.

Thank you @DenChamber and @COcompetes for hosting today's legislative preview event. We look forward to working on bipartisan solutions to keep jobs in Colorado. #coleg #dmccpolicy

Our Investor Chair and @XcelEnergyCO’s Michael Sapp was able to provide welcome remarks for the Business Legislative Preview, hosted by C3 and @DenChamber. We’re thrilled he was able to join and talk about the unique programs and committees we host!

Discussing changes to get Colorado building more condominiums that people can afford to buy. The American Dream is to own our own home, not be a forever tenant. I am proud to be working on this to make home ownership a reality for more people.@DenChamber @COCompetes #coleg

We're hearing from the leaders of Colorado's legislature this morning on priorities for the upcoming session. Topping everyone's list? Affordable housing. #coleg

We wrapped up Basecamp season with dinner at @FlyingHorseCO! Thank you to this year’s cohort, Rep. @RepDonWilson, Sen. @NickForCO, Rep. @MeghanLukens, Rep. @WSLindstedt, Sen. @commish_pelton, Rep. @NaquettaR, Rep. Rick Taggart, and Sen. @Janice_Marchman for an amazing season!

Now it’s off to the races for our next Basecamp stop! We’re at @OverdriveRacer in Colorado Springs, a family-owned indoor kart racing track that has a variety of ADA accessible karts so everyone can enjoy the raceway 🏎️

Next stop for today’s Basecamp is Meadow Lake Airport with @RepDonWilson! This airport is a “reliever” airport for the CO Springs airport, with smaller planes using it so traffic stays lighter. A few Basecamp attendees even got to take a ride ✈️

We’re in the heart of Pueblo for today’s Basecamp at the @PuebloRiverwalk, where we’re getting to check out some awesome infrastructure, hear about the community’s history and tourism, and explore local businesses like the Clink and Brues Alehouse.

We’re starting today’s Basecamp with a trip to Pueblo to visit the @evrazna steel mill. Specifically in Pueblo, Evraz’s emissions are 3-4x lower than anywhere else in the US. We’re also getting to hear from Senator @NickForCO about his district.

It was great to host the C3 in HD 40 ! Thank you to all the participants and speakers !

Since 2019, #coleg passed 43 bills creating new lawsuits, most against Colorado job creators - making our state one of the most expensive in U.S. #coleg #lawsuitabuse @CSInstituteCO commonsenseinstituteco.org/co-legal-expen…

Happy to support C3 Basecamp alum @SoperMatthew and Steering Committee member @GJChamber as they bring consuls general and other economic development partners to the Grand Valley to talk international business development. #coleg

We spent today learning how @AuroraWaterCO takes water the color in the foreground to drinking water that wins taste awards, all while being a national leader in potable reuse and conservation. #coleg

We auctioned off @commish_pelton at the Sterling Livestock Commission. Afraid we didn't get a very good price. But we did learn a lot about the economic impact of cattle production, including the many unexpected products that contain cattle byproducts, like fireworks and cake.
