With 300 days of annual sunshine and a vibrant community, Pueblo County continues to be a fantastic place for businesses to put down roots.🚀☀️

Since establishing its second production facility in Pueblo County in March 2024, @fomcorefurniture has become a thriving part of our local business landscape. Known for crafting customizable soft-seating foam furniture for schools, Fomcore chose Pueblo to expand its reach across the western United States, creating 10 full-time jobs above the county’s average annual wage across manufacturing, material management, and administrative roles.

Fomcore’s continued success in southern Colorado highlights the lasting impact of Colorado’s Rural Jump-Start (RJS) Program, sponsored locally in partnership with @pccpueblo and the Southern Colorado Economic Development District. By offering key state and local tax relief, including income tax exemptions and personal property tax relief, the program helps expanding businesses lower overhead while driving long-term economic stability and job creation in Pueblo.

We are proud to have Fomcore as an established member of Colorado’s southern Colorado community! Link in bio to learn more about the Rural Jump-Start Program 👆 by @coloradoecodevo

Sitting at 5,794 feet, Montrose, Colorado is a vibrant Western Slope destination where visitors and entrepreneurs come to live, work, and play under the motto "Stay here. Play everywhere." 🏔️✨

Beyond its world-class outdoor lifestyle, local business leaders and creators are driving downtown revitalization and regional economic momentum:
•Regional Business Cultivator: Managed by Region 10 League for Economic Assistance and Planning, Inc., this incubator provides a commissary kitchen, coworking space, and mentorship to help local culinary entrepreneurs launch and scale, including the Italian Food Emporium, an artisanal pasta maker supported by OEDIT’s Rural Jump-Start Program.
•Storm King Distilling Co.: Breathing new life into downtown, this family-owned craft distillery transformed the historic 1908 Montrose Potato Growers building into a thriving community gathering spot. Backed by a State Historical Fund grant through @historycolorado, they craft award-winning spirits.

When local visionaries leverage state and regional partner resources through OEDIT and programs like Rural Jump-Start, they gain the extra backing to innovate, scale, and thrive.
