Activity at Gunnison Rising grinded to a halt over the winter, but the arrival of warmer weather has allowed construction crews to continue building the framework for what will become the community’s largest new development.

The 630-acre Gunnison Rising subdivision is a new develop- ment located just east of town that stretches along both sides of Hwy. 50. The project will be built out in multiple phases, two of which are already underway. Construction at the “government campus,” the project’s first phase on the south side of the highway, began in 2021, along with the installation of the sub- division’s main utility lines. This year, project leaders expect significant progress to the north on phase two — a neighborhood that will contain Gunnison Rising's first homes.
