It seems no article can positively describe a city, without mentioning that it's also a tech cluster. Is there a city that doesn't claim to be a tech cluster? We need to recalibrate that term.
They're not exaggerating. Over the course of a decade.
DTC (Denver Tech Center) and Centennial Airport sprawled for miles around with tech companies and their employees who migrated from Southern California.
In the North West (Broomfield) around the Front Range Airport (or whatever they call it these days) tech companies and R&D centers started popping up all around Interlocken including Sun Microsystems.
Boulder is home to a number of smaller tech startups including SparkFun Electronics, and a Google facility downtown.
In the South West Lockheed Martin has a number of facilities that work on space systems (ie rockets, satellites).
Downtown Denver doesn't have much in terms of tech but the city is going through an urban revival and the light rail system is supposed to connect it all together (if they ever build the northwest rail line).
High wages and increased standard of living are a win/win.
