DENVER — The Colorado Eco-
nomic Development Commission has approved more than $8 million in tax incentives for three companies, counting on them to create or locate nearly 1,000 jobs in the state over the next five years. Longmont-based DigitalGlobe received approval for more than $4 million under the state’s job-growth-incentive tax-credit program on Thursday in return for creat-
ing 505 jobs during the next five years, the most jobs that were promised. The company is a leading commercial provider of satellite imagery According to the Denver Post, the other incentives were given to the Internet developer Sympoz and medicaldevice maker Terumo Medical Corp. DigitalGlobe employs 830 workers in Colorado and 1,300 total with other staff at sites in Virginia, Florida, Missouri, California and
abroad. Those new jobs would pay an average annual wage of $96,000 a year. DigitalGlobe has considered an expansion at its current headquarters in Longmont or a move to Thornton, Broomfield, Westminster or Virginia. “We would like for it to be Colorado,” said Tim Haskell, executive vice president of operations. John Cody, president and CEO of the Longmont Area
Economic Council, said the company’s current headquarters can be expanded, but not enough to accommodate the expected growth. “They looked at 150 sites all over north metro Denver, and they considered several sites in Longmont,” Cody said. He expects DigitalGlobe will build a new facility in either Broomfield or Westminster to better balance the commute for executives living in the south metro area
and technical staff on the north end. The commission approved $2.6 million in job-growth credits to a Denver Internet startup called Sympoz in return for creating 236 jobs over five years. Medical-device maker Terumo Medical Corp. received approval for $1.25 million from the state’s strategic fund in return for bringing 250 jobs paying an average wage of $69,056 a year to its facility in Lakewood.

ed to Colorado to help fight wildfires this weekend, but they remain ready to mobilize if needed, the governor said late Friday. Gov. Gary Herbert’s office said in a statement that Colorado withdrew its request for the emergency assistance after reassessing its situation. “Though Utah’s assistance is not currently required by Colorado, today’s efforts demonstrate Utah is ready, willing and able to help our neighbors in need,” Herbert said. Herbert had announced at a Friday morning news conference that Utah would send the help to Colorado, where two people have died and 419 homes have been destroyed in a wildfire near Colorado Springs. Authorities in Colorado said later Friday that a surprise rain shower helped them with the wildfire, which was 30 percent contained.

DENVER — Denver police are hoping two billboards telling the public about a March hit-and-run that killed two young brothers will help them get tips to solve the case. It’s the first time that Metro Denver Crime Stoppers is using billboards to ask the public for help with an unsolved case. The Denver Post reported Friday that donations from anonymous donors paid for the billboards, which cost about $10,000. The billboards show the picture of 8-year-old Zamay Khan and 6-year-old Azat Khan and their mother with the statement, “Someone knows who killed our sons.” The boys were crossing a street when they were struck by a car. Crime Stoppers Vice President Larry Stevenson says the ads will also appear in 20 bus benches.

High winds divert flights headed to DIA
DENVER — High winds diverted 23 flights scheduled to land at Denver International Airport on Thursday. Airport officials say winds up to 48 mph Thursday night diverted the flights to other airports, but the planes were returning to Denver once they refueled. The airport averages about 1,700 flights per day. The Denver Post reported that on Wednesday evening, as smoke from wildfires around the state reduced visibility, the airport closed two of four runways and briefly trimmed the number of arrivals and departures it was handling.
