Parks can mean millions for local economy T By Helen Robinson

he giant chess set and oversized Connect 4 that showed up in Acacia Park this summer are among many efforts underway — by citizens and the city — to energize and revitalize Colorado Springs parks. It’s not just about games; parks mean business in the Springs. The 2017 Economic Benefits of Parks and Recreation in Colorado Springs report calls the city’s parks and trails “key economic drivers that contribute millions annually in economic benefits.” According to the report, created by The Trust for Public Land, the city’s parks: • Boost the value of nearby residential properties by $502 million; • Increase property tax revenue by $2.58 million annually;

• Provide stormwater infiltration, valued at $3.06 million per year; • Draw about $135 million in visitor spending; and • Generate $6.36 million in local tax revenue. They also support local jobs, increase spending at local businesses and play a major role in attracting businesses and employees to the city by improving quality of life. Boosting quality of life was the aim when Mattie Albert, strategy and development manager for the El Paso County Clerk & Recorder, and Josh Green, of Mission Accomplished LLC, initiated Play in the Park on their own time, as an effort to reactivate Acacia Park as a downtown hub — somewhere people can gravitate to recreate, picnic and relax. “We wanted to pull people in and create things that are fun to use … so that Acacia Park really gains that See Parks page 19

JEFF GREENE

nonprofit trade association based in Colorado Springs is working to bring space-age public transportation to the Front Range. “We’re trying to be a catalyst for a discovery that is already here — the reinvention of transportation,” said Dane Egli, president and co-founder of the Hyperloop Advanced Research Project. “It’s a bold new invention that could come to your neighborhood — and not in a future lifetime, but soon.” HARP is the trade association advocating for the half-dozen companies testing Hyperloop travel — which exceeds 700 mph — and Fort Collinsbased Loop Global, which promises speeds in excess of 1,000 mph and up to 4,000 mph on a long-range trip. Both concepts operate in the vacuum of an evacuated tube via magnetic levitation and linear electric motors. Egli and Loop Global President D. Worthington both say commercialized tube transportation is realistic by 2021, though it would likely be on a 3-mile test track. Worthington will be part of an Aug. 16 meeting in the Springs, hosted by HARP, to cultivate support among local officials and business leaders. Egli was part of a group that presented a proposal — there were 2,600 submitted worldwide — in the contest run by Los Angeles-based company Hyperloop One. It was one of three Colorado proposed routes selected among the 11 semifinalists, with three routes to be selected for future construction and announced this summer. “This is a rapidly emerging industry,” said Egli, a former national security director at the White House under President George W. Bush. “Six months ago, several leaders in the industry challenged four of us to create a trade association that is unbiased to advocate for all the companies working on this technology. Our three things are to support, educate and research.”

Affordable housing is good for business The issue: Rental rates in Colorado Springs are rising at the fastest rate in the nation. What we think: Although Colorado Springs is still relatively inexpensive compared to Denver or Boulder, developers need to consider building more affordable housing for Millennials and empty-nesters. Tell us what you think: Send us an email at editorial@csbj.com.

R

ental rates in Colorado Springs are increasing at the fastest pace in the country, according to some sources — and that could lead to problems with both business growth and workforce development. While increasing rates might be good for apartment builders and for landlords, they aren’t so great for people seeking jobs in Colorado Springs. Keeping apartments and single-family homes affordable will attract the right kind of workforce — one that will stay here, raise a family here and get involved in the community. As prices rise, Millennials might not be able to find places to live because they also are laboring under the highest student loan debt the nation has seen. And if local wages don’t keep up with the rise in housing and food prices, the much-coveted Millennial workforce could leave for less-expensive cities. Combined with little public transportation and flat wage growth, the lack of affordable housing could be the catalyst for many people to leave the city and raise their families in other areas. We’re not there — yet. While apartment rates increased 11.4 percent in March 2017, compared to February 2017, a two-bedroom apartment averages slightly more than $1,000 a month in Colorado Springs. Compare that to the $1,700 a month in Denver

and more than $4,000 in San Francisco, and prices are still fairly reasonable in the Springs. But that could change if month-over-month rents continue to increase, pushed upward by low inventory, new residents who live here and commute to Denver, and this city’s improved economy. To maintain the city’s affordability — the Apartment List ranks Colorado Springs 51st in rental expenses compared to Denver’s 15th place — developers should be sure to include a mix of affordable housing, not just luxury apartments. While those are important to the economy, so is housing that allows people to live comfortably on low- to mid-level incomes. If people are overpaying for their homes, their disposable income goes down and that affects local businesses. There will be less money to buy cars, shop or eat at restaurants. The service economy will suffer. And if housing takes a disproportionate amount of income, then the unexpected events — a sudden car repair, a medical emergency — could bring with them financial disaster for families. A couple of those unforeseen problems could leave families homeless or at least struggling to recover. Affordable housing is vital to economic prosperity and maintaining robust employment levels. And it provides more than just a place to live. Providing affordable housing creates stability in the workforce, allows families to engage in community activities and helps produce a steady, secure workforce for local businesses. Other cities are creating ways to combat the rise in rental prices — the Springs should consider its options. Building more apartment complexes could be an answer to relieve the demand, but only if those units contain affordable rents. Affordable housing is an issue that we need to solve now — before rates rise faster than wages increase — leaving the city without the right workforce. CSBJ n

OPINION: HAZLEHURST

Springs should have its own brand H ere’s a marketing maxim we’ve all heard: Control your brand. A city’s brand should be accurate, timeless, immune from scandal or piracy and beloved by residents and visitors alike. The Big Apple. The City by the Bay. The Mile High City. No one can remove the bay from San Francisco or the altitude from Denver. The Big HAZLEHURST Apple is … well, the Big Apple. But Olympic City USA? We’re piggybacking on the United States Olympic Committee, the International Olympic Committee, Scott Blackmun and Dick Celeste. Powerful organizations and big shoulders for sure, but still transient and unpredictable, like all humans and human endeavors. Los Angeles has reportedly cut a deal to host the 2028 Summer Games, allowing Paris to have the global spotlight in 2024. The City of Angels hosted the Olympics in 1932 and 1984, as did St. Louis in 1904 and Atlanta in 1996. We should be glad that the long wait is over. L.A. is probably the only American city that could host today’s bloated, budget-busting sport-o-ramas, with so many venues already operational. Boston, the USOC’s first choice, backed out of the deal because of a populist revolt and no other city entered a bid. That was true internationally as well, leaving only Paris and L.A. competing for the 2024 Summer Games. The IOC bureaucrats implemented a simple and elegant solution; give Paris 2024, give L.A. 2028, end the drama for the next decade and move on.

John

In the best of possible worlds, the 2020 Tokyo Olympiad will jump-start our U.S. Olympic Museum, and help sustain our wondrous local boom. The modern Games may seem crazy and unsustainable, but the Olympic movement soldiers on. The brand has survived Hitler’s 1936 spectacle, the Salt Lake City bribery scandal, Tonya Harding, the horrors of Munich, Russian doping, and dysfunction at Sochi, Rio and Montreal. Every two years, a new crop of fresh-faced young athletes revives and re-establishes the brand, money flows in and the games go on. As it was then, it is now and ever shall be … Olympics without end, amen. Maybe so. But consider the potentially ominous fate of America’s most powerful sports brand, the all-powerful National Football League. The news that 111 of 112 brains of former NFL players submitted for post-mortem testing showed evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy may eventually spell the end of professional football as we have known it. CTE’s effects can include severe, sometimes suicidal depression, mental confusion, dementia and early death. There’s no cure, and no way to detect the condition, which is caused by repeated blows to the head. The immediate consequences to the NFL may be slight, but what will become of the game? Will parents allow their kids to play? Will high schools and colleges field teams, given possible legal consequences? Will a safer game be as compelling to watch?

Do I want to watch Von Miller play touch football with Tom Brady, or knock him flying? Linking Colorado Springs to the Olympics now seems prescient. The USOC is on a roll, the museum is a done deal (the construction site has a crane), one downtown hotel is under construction and two more may soon be on the way. Jenny Elliott just opened her light-filled new five-plex a block from the Business Journal’s southeast downtown offices, other larger complexes are being built, and all of our houses are worth more today than they were last week. Still, I wish we had our own brand. If General Palmer had called his pleasant little colony Pikes Peak City, we’d be fine. Instead, like every subsequent land developer, he catered to his market. Never mind that there were few springs in Colorado Springs — the name worked. We’ve turned a patch of treeless prairie into a beautiful city of almost half a million souls, with more than 700,000 now living in the immediate metropolitan area, and we’re not done yet. We’re almost a big city, and big cities stand on their own. By 2040, the Pikes Peak region will be home to a million people, so perhaps we’ll find a grown-up brand, one that will serve till the end of time. More likely, we won’t need to bother. We’ll be bigger, just as delightful, just as diverse, just as much fun. We’ll be that cool spot south of Denver, north of Pueblo and east of Pikes Peak, known nationwide as the pothole-free city!

ONE-ON-ONE

Greene lends guidance as chief of staff By Bryan Grossman

W

ith a twang, Colorado Springs Chief of Staff Jeff Greene will relay that his accent was not a result of his living in southern Colorado. Born in Nashville, Tenn., Greene grew up in south-central Georgia before returning to his home state to attend the University of Tennessee. It was there he would study business administration, economics and finance, before being commissioned into the Army upon graduation. He served in the reserves from 1992-2000, and it was the Army that brought Greene to Fort Carson and Colorado Springs. Greene spoke with the Business Journal this week about government’s role in business, managing a city, and being compared to counterparts in the northern half of the state. How did you end up in Colorado Springs? After graduating college, I went into banking and finance and then went active duty with the Army as a signal officer. The Army brought me here. I also came out here several times for a vacation in the early and mid ’90s. When I got out at Fort Carson I went to work for what is now UnitedHealthcare [Services]. I was also involved with the Small Business Administration doing membership accounting and financial services. I then began to do large employer financial services in several states. But I was at a crossroads. I’d made the transition to large employer negotiations and Terry Harris, who was the El Paso County administrator, was recruiting. … He asked if I’d be willing to work at the county and restructure its employee benefits program. I started as director for employee benefits and medical services in 2001. In 2005, I was promoted to assistant county administrator, in 2006 I was promoted to deputy county administrator and in 2007, I became county administrator. Was that your first move into the public sector? Yes, it was a big transition from a corporate environment to local government. … I remember after being there 30 days, [Harris] said I had to get done what I had to get done, but it is a little bit of a democracy. … That was a piece of advice I really took to heart. When you’re young, you’re enthusiastic and you want to change the world and really make an impact, but you can only accomplish so much unless you build consensus. What are your professional responsibilities? I have two titles. I’m chief of staff to the mayor and chief administrative officer for the city. My position is similar to a county administrator. I support the mayor through advisement, through assistance, through facilitating community discussions. But I also manage the administration for the city and ensure, in the management of the administrative functions, that we’re meeting all the requirements and objectives as outlined by the mayor. … I meet with administrative department heads to set the priorities for the administration and make recommendations to the mayor. … I meet with public works, I meet with [the parks department.] The coordination of the city is a 24/7 job. How does the rapid growth of the city impact your job? If a city isn’t growing, it’s dying. But you have to have appropriate growth. That means not creating massive areas of growth and, in 30 years, abandoning it. You need to have the appropriate policies in place. Policy decisions are not short-term decisions. They may not become full reality for five years — especially development policies. It’s important for the city to have a healthy relationship with commercial development, and housing and building processes. At the same time, we have to be accountable that, as we’re growing, we have the infrastructure that meets particular needs. … A lot of people in Colorado Springs want the city to stay just like it is, but if you’re not reinvesting in yourself and looking at how to redevelop certain areas of the city, they become blighted, and we can see that in some segments in our community. What role does government play in business? We have to create appropriate regulations. We have to protect the health and welfare of our citizens, but at the same time we have to be aware that we’re not creating unintended consequences. You hear people say the city needs to create jobs. It’s not the city’s responsibility to create jobs, it’s the city’s responsibility to create a conducive environment that supports job growth. As chief of staff, I ensure our departments work toward the economic policies and the overall direction of the mayor and city council. Do you think it’s fair that Colorado Springs is often compared to Denver? Colorado Springs is no Denver. We are a very unique, beautiful community. If General Palmer wanted to live in Denver, his base of operations would have been Denver. But he recognized the scenic attributes of this community and knew what this community could one day be. He was our first developer and had a vision and was able to see the fruits of his labor. Denver has a metro area and all those surrounding communities are contributing. Opportunities there will be very different versus a less-populated center. We’re still one of the fastest-growing regions in the state. And I agree with the mayor 100 percent on this: If you create the right economic environment, everything else will fall in place. So are we different from Denver? Yes. Am I proud we’re different? Yes. Are there things we can share and learn from each other? Absolutely. CSBJ

JEFF GREENE So are we different from Denver? Yes. Am I proud we’re different? Yes.”

OPINION: ROUTON

Tough summer for some in Manitou F or most of the four decades since first moving to Colorado Springs in 1977, my strategy for dealing with summer tourism has been simple: Stay away from crowds and busy areas as much as possible. In particular, avoid the crush of Manitou Springs at all costs. The reasoning was easy to unR O U T O N derstand, especially after I started living in Manitou during 1990. Just let the various businesses that cater to summertime visitors have their crazy season from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and then go back to spend money there in the fall, winter and spring when they need regular customers the most. That tactic has held strong through the years — except that school starts earlier than in decades past, meaning the back half of August begins to slow down more visibly now. But thanks to a solid economy and low gas prices (compared to other years for the midyear months), the drive-up tourists have been flocking to Colorado like never before. By all indications, the summer of 2017 would seem guaranteed to produce record numbers across the region, according to early estimates from most tourist attractions and the hospitality industry. Ah, but that doesn’t mean the history-making statistics and bottom-line successes apply to everyone. Despite all the crowds converging on Garden of the Gods, the Pikes Peak Cog Railway, The Broadmoor/ Seven Falls, Pikes Peak Highway, Cave of the Winds

Ralph

and more, that’s not translating into a terrific summer for everyone in Manitou Springs. If you’ve driven that way in recent months, you know why. Officially known as the Westside Avenue Action Plan, the road construction project on Manitou Avenue’s east end from the U.S. 24 overpass to the city’s gateway arch has been more disruptive during the busy tourism months than business owners and residents were led to expect. The $30 million project, funded by the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority, eventually will create a far more modern and aesthetically pleasing entry into Manitou, with bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides, better lighting and underground utilities. Also part of the deal will be a new, wider bridge across Fountain Creek in the unincorporated area known as No Man’s Land, where the same thoroughfare is West Colorado Avenue. But the early construction work, much of it underground for drainage and utilities, has meant exasperating delays six days a week for regular traffic as well as visitors, with lane closures and slow going when each side is allowed to move. We don’t know specific numbers, but anecdotal reports suggest people by the hundreds have chosen to leave and put off any return to Manitou indefinitely. Some restaurants and bars in downtown Manitou are doing just fine regardless. But business at more than a few small gift and souvenir shops reportedly is down, hampered by other construction and mitigation work in Manitou’s downtown area. Meanwhile, restaurants

such as the highly popular Adam’s Mountain Café and motels such as the El Colorado Lodge and Comfort Inn — at ground zero in the WAAP project area on Manitou Avenue — have been affected. It didn’t help any of them, either, that the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb’s extended-stay race crews took their presence and money elsewhere. Residents of Manitou (disclosure: that group includes me) are being as patient as possible, but that doesn’t replace the lost business. The message here is simple: If you’re a fan of Manitou Springs, whether the eclectic shops downtown or its jewels such as Adam’s Mountain Café, don’t just assume that the hordes of tourists converging on the region are producing great business for everyone. Instead of waiting until Labor Day or later, you should venture westward now. In just a couple weeks, Manitou’s downtown parking will become much less of an issue, because the Manitou Incline will close for four months of repair work. And the WAAP lane closures should be less of a hindrance as work progresses, so driving through that construction area will be worth it when you reach your favorite restaurants that need the year-round clientele right now. Someday the end result will be far better. But in the meantime, many of those Manitou businesses can’t count on strangers quite as much. And this is one time when the greater business community should consider helping take care of its own. CSBJ

Don’t just assume that the hordes of tourists are producing great numbers for everyone.

Crossconnect Engineering Established: 2012 Employees: 12 Location: 7660 Goddard St., Suite 205 Photo by Ashleigh Hollowell

Jeff Kronlage, left, with his father, Bryan, started Crossconnect Engineering in 2012. The company provides Cisco services and products.

Crossconnect networks IT expertise By Ashleigh Hollowell

A

childhood computer programming hobby gradually became the backbone of a business for Jeff Kronlage. Kronlage worked for a decade to grow his computer repair company before selling it. All the while he was working toward earning his Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert recognition — a certification considered by many as the most prestigious networking certification in the industry. It was over dinner one evening that he and his father, Bryan, decided building another technology business was the right move. They established Crossconnect Engineering in 2012, providing Cisco services and products — network infrastructure, wireless services and network security — to businesses with anywhere from 30 to more than 1,000 employees. Crossconnect has remote staffing capabilities to serve businesses both locally and nationwide, and five of its 12 staff members are CCIE-certified, a relatively high level of expertise for a smaller company, Kronlage said. “We try to find the more difficult, bigger-scope [projects] — something your in-house staff is not going to be familiar with, and show ... that it would make more sense working with us,” he said.

However, because so many Crossconnect employees work remotely, building customer relationships can be a challenge. “There is an awful lot of, ‘Well if I go to the competition, they’ve got a guy who is right down the street.’ That is a bit of a hard one to work on,” Kronlage said. “Sometimes they don’t conceptually grasp that, ‘Hey I can have the same relationship with this guy over video chat that I can with the guy down the street.’” Crossconnect applicants undergo a challenging skills test, created and administered by Kronlage, who said nine out of 10 hopefuls fail. That is why he chooses to recruit employees from all over the country to obtain top-notch engineers. “We tell our customers that even though the guy they’re getting may not be here physically, he is the best and the one you want for the job,” he said. Kronlage is currently working to obtain a Cisco Gold level partnership — a step beyond the company’s current affiliation as a Cisco Premier Partner. To reach the Gold level, Kronlage and his team at Crossconnect have to meet certain requirements, including at least four staff members earning CCIE recognition, which has already been achieved. Kronlage is hopeful that the more prestigious partnership will improve his company’s marketability, because growing sales has been a challenge for Crossconnect.

“Building out a strong sales organization — that has definitely been the biggest challenge. We’ve been building a strategy around our sales staff,” Kronlage said, adding the company has begun hiring employees who can carry out that plan. Building a strong sales team is part of Kronlage’s strategy to further growth. He plans to hire at least three sales staffers and a couple of intermediate engineers within the next 12 months. “Engineering here is fantastic. We do a bang-up job, but we don’t have the market exposure because we don’t have a team to take the word around,” Kronlage said. In addition to developing a strong sales team for Crossconnect, Kronlage’s strategy for standing out is simple: Engage clients in conversation. “We have a differentiator that is easy to quantify. A lot of our competitors are really worried about moving hardware and boxes. We don’t have a big conversation around hardware. The conversation we go out with is, ‘Tell us about your problems,’” Kronlage said. “It’s completely different from how most of our competitors do business. “We’ve been able to penetrate some of our competitors’ accounts because they’re not having that conversation. We’re engineering-focused, not hardware-focused.” CSBJ n

YOUNG PROFESSIONAL

David a force in real estate, nonprofit worlds W By Ashleigh Hollowell

hen he’s not working as a broker at Cameron Butcher Co. to help local businesses find commercial space, Caleb David is helping his wife, Rebecca, run The Table Initiative, a nonprofit that aims to humanize social justice issues worldwide. Some might not see the connection between commercial real estate and founding a nonprofit, but David has discovered a way to tie those two diverse skill sets together. “We focus very much on sustainable development models and having a business background. We think beyond the surface of relief or aid,” he said. “That’s also how I engage with my real estate clients. I don’t want to put a Band-Aid on their problem and say, ‘Here you go. Here’s a property.’ I want it to be something that is deeper than that and I want them to be successful.” David and his wife moved to Colorado Springs on a whim five years ago after visiting friends who lived in the community. It took a week before the two put their Oklahoma City home up for sale, and they relocated within a month. Shortly after, David was working at a job he was not enthusiastic about when a mentor presented the idea of moving to commercial real estate. Cameron Butcher was not looking to hire at the time, and David was not looking for a job, but the connection just made sense, he said. “It worked out. All of a sudden, we found it was a fit,” David said. Between running a nonprofit and working in commercial real estate, David prioritizes everything. “There is no such thing as perfect balance,” he said. What is your professional background? I was very fortunate out of high school. I ended up in a publishing job. I actually graduated when I was 16 and by the time I was 18, I was a customer service manager for three different publishing companies in Oklahoma. I was very fortunate to fall into a great job and was there for three and a half years. What do you like about the culture of Cameron Butcher? I think culture within a company is so important, and that’s part of why I love working with this company. They’re in this for the community, not here just to make money. They’re honest and up front. We’re all humans and imperfect,

but I’ve seen them do the right thing by people over and over again. They care about their staff and protect the culture of our company as well. What do you think of the different sides of the business community you see in Colorado Springs? I think it’s getting stronger. I think we’re in a really exciting time. There’s a lot of good leadership and a lot of people who went before us who were very progressive and made the way for us younger brokers. This is my home. I care about it; my kids are growing up here. My job is very personal to me. I see [Colorado Springs] building and growing. I love seeing new collaboration. It’s not just about competition. I think it’s an exciting time we’re in right now — within the last two years we’ve seen it ramping up. Who does your nonprofit serve? We use trips as a way to get people from around the world around the table, so to speak. We work right now primarily in Ethiopia and the Middle East and my wife and I have been doing this 10 years. Having been in nonprofit work for so long, I see a lot of need around the world. We’ve seen a lot of orphanages and a lot of poverty and we always knew we wanted to build our family through adoption. We redirected our nonprofit energies into building long-term relationships in Ethiopia where we adopted [our children] from. I wanted to get established in the Springs and build credibility, but there are a lot of nonprofits and not everybody will be able to connect to ours. What do you value in the professional relationships you build? Honesty, communication, kindness. Kindness can be a lost art at this point for a lot of reasons so I value people who are considerate and also creative. Creativity is almost an artistry you have to have if you’re going to move forward. What advice do you have for other young professionals? I would say learn more about that industry and find someone who will be honest. Find mentors who will walk with you. Work hard. There will be blood, sweat and tears, but if you’re around the right people, you will be successful. CSBJ n

Fountain seeks to fill long-empty warehouse G By Audrey Jensen

uests stood in the empty office space at the open house of a vacant manufacturing building and warehouse in Fountain on July 26. They gathered to listen to presentations encouraging businesses to occupy the vast space. The 362,291-square-foot building located at 702 Bandley Drive, just east of Interstate 25, has been empty since 2007, but involved parties including the Colorado Office of Economic Development & International Trade, El Paso County, the city of Fountain and others hope to have at least one occupant in the building soon. Since 1984, the property has, at some point, been owned and vacated by Data General, Apple and Samina-SCI, and is currently owned by national real estate company Industrial Realty Group, which purchased the site in 2014. Adjacent to the 48.5 acres on which the building sits is 48.62 acres of undeveloped land, also owned by IRG, that is currently for sale. “We’ve had other businesses, commercial properties that looked into the building — they had some pretty serious looks,” said Fountain Mayor Gabriel Ortega, who attended the open house. “Little things would turn them away, or it just wasn’t the right time.” That interest motivated IRG to invest in renovations and rebuilding for more than a year, Ortega said.

AT LEAST 1,000 JOBS The building, part of the Southern Colorado Regional Industrial Center (SoCo Ric) on the west side of Fountain, is one of the Fountain Urban Renewal Authority’s projects. The open house provided guests with access to the site, a preview of the upgraded property and presentations by those invested in the building. The city of Fountain and the industrial center team, which includes Em-Tek, an information technology service provider, are targeting potential tenants from sectors that include agriculture-tech food production, defense, security and aerospace, advanced manufacturing technology, clean tech alternative energy and creative industries. Once the building is occupied, Fountain officials and real estate experts say job growth could lead to further development in the city and along the Interstate 25 corridor immediately south of Colorado Springs. Robert Hassler, vice president and portfolio asset manager for IRG Realty Advisors, would not name any specific companies or dates of occupation during the open house, but said he hopes to announce in August one new occupant with plans to lease 197,000 square feet of the building. El Paso County District 4 Commissioner Longinos Gonzalez said he hopes at least 1,000 jobs will be added once the warehouse is filled. “We want to see what [El Paso County and Fountain] can do together. That’s the key thing — we’ve seen

some opportunities for growth. The south sector here is something that we can develop together,” Gonzalez said in his presentation. Ortega said the new jobs will also be a boost for the area’s military population. “We have a lot of soldiers whose families live here, and they’re always looking for jobs,” he said. “So to give them something else to look at as a possibility for a job can be really crucial and key for them as well.”

Bailey said a lot of businesses want to put earnings back into operations and expansion, which is why she feels now is the perfect time to invest in the property. The current business climate, increased services at the Colorado Springs Airport, improved access to Gate 19 on Fort Carson and the possible spillover of companies from Catalyst Campus in Colorado Springs are four contributing factors to the timing for Fountain’s marketing push, she said. “The [Colorado Springs] THE PERFECT TIME Airport itself is becoming a According to Ortega, great resource for us,” Bailey Fountain’s population doubled said. “Connecting cities, which over the past 15 years and is has been one of the hindrances estimated to reach 30,000 in of the past, is now becoming a 2019.

CTA tours Colorado tech industry By Audrey Jensen

W

hether it’s an arts alliance or a start-up company, the developing technology industry is an area most businesses should start paying attention to, and Colorado Springs and Pueblo are not exempt. To help businesses share technology advancements and kickstart conversations surrounding tech, the Colorado Governor’s Office proclaimed the week of July 31 to Aug. 4 as Colorado Tech Week. To launch the week, the Colorado Technology Association, a Denver-

based nonprofit, hosted the third annual Colorado Tech Tour, spanning five regions in five days. CTA partnered with Catalyst Campus and the Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC and made its first stop at Catalyst Campus on July 31 for a panel discussion. Afterward CTA took a hard-hat tour of the burgeoning National Cybersecurity Center, which will be located at 3650 N. Nevada Ave. CTA also partnered with the city of Pueblo and Colorado State University-Pueblo to host a rapid-fire pitch night at the university, also on July 31. The tour aimed to provide a platform for partici-

pating businesses to share technology stories and network, said Andrea Young, CEO of CTA. “I think that tech is an equalizing factor and it’s something that’s in every business and every industry. We can’t even really look at tech as an industry; we look at it as a capability,” she said. Young said it is important for all businesses to be aware of and have expertise in areas of technology such as computer science, data science and cyberspace, among others. The Colorado Tech Tour can help with this, she said. “Colorado has a lot of business capabilities and I don’t think that story gets told enough,” Young said. “I think it’s really important we’re able to keep getting those stories on the map. Hopefully that will lead to attracting capital; hopefully that will lead to attracting talent.” Promoting innovation and technology across the state is a responsibility that CTA takes very seriously, said Kelly Underell, executive director for the Colorado Technology Foundation. “The companies don’t always have time to promote themselves or their resources, and we have this amazing statewide-and-beyond network to share these stories with,” Underell said. “So hopefully it’s attracting more businesses, better talent and more capital to places beyond the Denver metro area.” The state also has one of the fastest-growing economies in the U.S., said Young. “I would say that Colorado, in terms of growth year after year, is definitely up there in terms of tech. … In every business today there’s the technology component and cybersecurity is a topic — moving it from the server room to the boardroom and being able to educate based on risk [is important], because most everything happens through software or cyberspace.”

WOODLAND PARK/ TELLER COUNTY Anderson, intellectual property manager for Zwipe; Patty Bonvallet, technology development manager for Boecore, Inc.; Greg Bush, senior facilities specialist for SAP America; and Chris Franz, chief development officer for Exponential Impact. Ingrid Richter, executive director of Catalyst Campus, moderated the panel. Hannah Parsons, chief economic development officer for the Chamber & EDC, said CTA travels through Colorado Springs to showcase the city’s variety of technology and innovation. She added that Colorado Springs also happens to be the second-largest city in the state, with a metropolitan population of around 700,000 people. It’s a city that would be hard not to include in a tech tour, she said. “I think CTA generally wants to showcase a variety of technology through the state, so it’s been fun to work with them because every time they come through on a tour they try to highlight things that maybe people don’t know too much about. It’s been nice because the tech community in Colorado Springs is very different than that in Denver,” Parsons said. Parsons said one issue for Colorado Springs is recruiting and retaining talent, an area her economic development team specializes in to help local businesses grow. “It’s very important to the tech community to be able to attract and retain talent. So CTA ... always tries to help communities and businesses identify ways to make sure they have plenty of talent for their company.” Bonvallet shared her success in recruiting and keeping talent in the cybersecurity industry. She said businesses need younger people to be excited about technology in order to retain employees. “The most senior guys have these great ideas, and they know where the gaps are and where we need capability, but you need the younger folks to get excited so they can come in and do the work,” she said.

Cyber year in review August 2016 The Air Force’s CyberWorx program started its first design project — the Cyber Risk Ecosystem. Sixteen cadets in degree programs collaborated with tech professionals from seven industry partners to develop cybersecurity solutions through design thinking. Through an agreement with the Center for Technology, Research and Commercialization, the group brainstormed ideas to make highly technical cyber information easier to understand.

November 2016 The National Cybersecurity Center reached initial operating capability on Nov. 1. PricewaterhouseCoopers continued work with the NCC on a business plan for the center’s three pillars: the Cyber Institute, Rapid Response Center and the Cyber Research, Education and Training Center, while JE Dunn Construction continued renovations on the NCC’s 135,000-square-foot facility.

February 2017 The Air Force Academy’s CyberWorx program reached initial operating capability — a major milestone — when it completed three simultaneous projects. High-ranking Air Force officials from the Academy and from Air Force Space Command announced the achievement at the 2017 Cyberspace Symposium.

“Hopefully through that network we can produce some new knowledge that others can use.”

October 2016 Ed Rios was named CEO of the National Cybersecurity Center, which focuses on cybersecurity research and development, rapid response and education for business and government officials. A retired Air Force colonel, Rios moved to the Springs 15 years ago to work with Air Force Space Command. He started a local firm, CyberSpace Operations Consulting, after retiring.

January 2017 The Rapid Response Center started operations. As the National Cybersecurity Center’s emergency service for organizations that suffer a cybersecurity breach or attack, the RRC responds to incidents and researches breaches. It offers additional services like forensics to determine the cause, help getting back in operation and training to avoid future breaches.

March 2017 Colorado Springs ranked 16th nationally in the new Best Cities for Cybersecurity Professionals report. Personal finance website GoodCall.com analyzed data from 221 cities, highlighting Colorado Springs’ excellent cybersecurity job prospects and desirable lifestyle — ahead of cities including San Francisco, Seattle, Washington, D.C., and Denver.

INAUGURAL PUEBLO TOUR The Tech Tour’s July 31 pitch night at CSU-Pueblo was its first visit to Pueblo. Some pitches revolved around technology in education, transportation, software, the arts and the Pueblo City-County Library. Cora Zaletel, executive director of external affairs at CSU-Pueblo, said one of her colleagues wanted to start conversations in technology, but lacked a network. “I think they’d hoped that this would kind of start that conversation and help them with their goal of having regular trainings or networking,” Zaletel said. “My goal was to get the Colorado Tech Association to see what Pueblo was doing, but I think it also benefited Pueblo knowing what other people are doing in town.” The pitch by RB Wiley, senior principal investigator of engineering services at Pueblo’s Transportation Technology Center, Inc., showed videos of improved safety designs for light rail passenger cars. Wiley also spoke on the benefits of using remotely collected condition data to improve safety of railcars while saving money. Zaletel added that Pueblo is collaborative and said Colorado will benefit from working with Pueblo and other cities. “In higher ed, our goal is to produce new knowledge,” she said. “Hopefully through that network we can produce some new knowledge that others can use.” CSBJ n

May 2017 The inaugural cohort class of 22 transitioning service members and two veterans started studying May 30 at the Microsoft Software & Systems Academy. The 18-week accelerated IT course, taught through Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University at Catalyst Campus, aims to connect the hundreds of skilled Colorado Springs soldiers leaving the military each month with local tech jobs.

July 2017 Pikes Peak Community College received a Pikes Peak Regional Defense Assistance Program grant of almost $1 million to become National Security Agency certified. PPCC is using its portion of the grant to develop the NSA/DHS National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Two-Year Education (CAEY2) information assurance program at the college. The Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC, as sub-grantee, is using its portion to develop the Pikes Peak Region Cybersecurity Strategy.

June 2017 Pikes Peak Community College launched a pioneering cybersecurity internship program for high school students — the first in Colorado and one of just a handful nationally. Students from Colorado Springs and Peyton school districts became some of the country’s youngest paid cybersecurity interns. PPCC partnered with local employers for the six-week internship program, funded by a National Institute for Standards and Technology grant.

The National Cybersecurity Center launched the NCC Volunteer Program, harnessing local expertise to push ahead with building its permanent home. It also started a Ph.D.-level fellowship program, in which fellows work on protracted research projects to address specific problems. The projects last six to 12 months and are funded by specific research and education grants or corporate grants.

Loop: Tube transportation could be tested in the region From page 1

HARP managed to get 21 leaders from the Pikes Peak region to sign a letter supporting the advancement of the technology. Among them were Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers, U.S Rep. Doug Lamborn, UCCS Chancellor Venkat Reddy and Colorado state Sen. Owen Hill. “I’m intrigued by the technology, because it’s being advertised as significantly less expensive than fast rail,” Suthers said. “If it could be done, it would be very quick and if the infrastructure is less expensive than fast rail, this could be our future. I want to encourage the testing of it without committing any city resources. At some point in time, we’re going to need Front Range fast transportation. Fast rail is extremely expensive, and to the extent that there is alternative technology that could be less expensive, I’d love to see it explored. It’s amazing.”

AN EMERGING MARKET Worthington said ET3 technology is cheaper, faster and a better solution than Hyperloop. He said fast rail built in California costs about $150 million per mile while Hyperloop One is anywhere from $64-$121 million a mile and ET3 is $10-$20 million per mile. “If we’re both operating, people will compare and decide what is the best approach,” Worthington said. “One of them is going to win the war.” He said bringing ET3 travel to the Springs “is absolutely realistic” and a 3-mile test track could be built here by 2021. Construction of long-range routes would follow, perhaps in the same year. Worthington said HARP is giving Colorado Springs the chance to build relationships in the industry. “The city could be an early adopter and give these risk-takers the opportunity to possibly center the in-

UCCS’ Career Development Center seeks partners

W

hen you walk through the doors of the Northwestern Mutual office in downtown Colorado Springs, you can expect knowledgeable business professionals with keen customer service skills and a desire to help individuals achieve their financial goals. What you may not realize is that S T I D D many of those professionals, interns and support staff are UCCS students and alumni. The Colorado Springs Northwestern Mutual office has partnered with the UCCS College of Business Career Development Center for the past nine years. Through the course of the partnership, Northwestern Mutual has hired 10 to 15 UCCS students annually into its top-ranked internship program and currently has 10 UCCS alumni on staff. As described by Chelsea Wallace, director of recruiting at Northwestern Mutual, “The partnership with the UCCS Career Development Center has been invaluable to our office. Through this standing relationship, we are able to recruit, train and retain top talent from our local community. The partnership has enabled our office to provide college students with real world experiential learning opportunities while cultivating future leaders for our community.”

FROM MARKETING TO HR MANAGEMENT The UCCS College of Business Career Development Center connects students and alumni with local employers for internship and career opportunities. The

center currently engages with more than 100 local employers. The College of Business offers a variety of majors at the undergraduate and graduate level, including accounting, finance, human resource management, information systems, international business, management, marketing, professional golf management, service management and sport management. To provide the diverse student population with experiential learning opportunities, the college requires local business partners — spanning a broad variety of industries — to engage with and employ students. The Career Development Center is eager to connect with any local businesses interested in: • Hiring interns or developing an internship program; • Participating in on-campus networking and professional development events; and/or • Filling professional positions.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING The UCCS College of Business is committed to the local business community and recognizes the need to produce graduates who are prepared, experienced, knowledgeable and able to relate the skills they have learned in class to daily business operations. By collaborating with the Career Development Center and offering internship and employment opportunities for current students and alumni, local organizations help mold future business leaders and provide students with a rich, meaningful introduction to the professional business world. UCCS alumna Jackie Kumsher, now a practice manager at Northwestern Mutual, highlights the

benefits available to local employers who partner with UCCS from the student perspective: “As a College of Business student at UCCS, I was provided with many opportunities to engage with the local business community to discover which career paths best match my strengths and goals. I was introduced to the recruiter at Northwestern Mutual by attending a Career Networking event held on campus. From there, I secured an internship with them for two years and transitioned into a full-time position after graduation.”

HOW LOCAL BUSINESS CAN BE INVOLVED Local businesses can collaborate with the Career Development Center in a variety of ways, including: • Sitting on an industry panel; • Participating in a professional development event; • Becoming a member of the Employer Advisory Committee; • Participating in an on-campus networking event; • Volunteering to be a student mentor; • Offering student internships; and • Utilizing UCCS as a free resource to fill job vacancies. The College of Business is hosting an information session, Recruit and Retain the Best, Thursday, Aug. 10, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in UCCS’ Dwire Hall Atrium. Learn about new trends and best practices in recruitment while discovering more about the partnership opportunities available to local businesses. For more information, contact mstidd@uccs.edu or 719-255-3120. Meghan Stidd, program director at the UCCS College of Business Career Development Center, can be contacted at mstidd@uccs.edu.

Why don’t we all vacation like Congress?

C

ontacting my British editor, I wasn’t surprised to read: “I am away on annual leave till … If your query is urgent, contact … Otherwise, I will reply to your message as soon as possible on my return.” With August here, vacation time is on our mind! It seems that the U.S. “is the only advanced economy that does not SASSOWER require employers to provide paid vacation,” (Forbes 8/13/13). We have 10 national holidays for which government and most other employees get paid, but this excludes the millions of Americans who are self-employed or work only part-time. Legally speaking, we aren’t entitled to a vacation. Perhaps we should ask instead, in the age of smartphones, what it even means to take a vacation, paid or not? If 81 percent of vacationing travelers say their smartphone is their No. 1 travel accessory (FoxBusiness 7/8/16), then are they on vacation at all? And how soon do vacationers get anxious about their work or home? As the Center for Economic and Policy Research reports, “European countries lead the world in guaranteeing paid leave for [their] workers.” The average European worker is entitled to between 30 and 34 working days, so paid vacations may last almost two months (TheWorldPost 8/6/13). By contrast, “The average American worker gets 16 days of combined vacation and holiday time per year,” (Scott Bomboy 8/2/13). And even those who accrue more vacation time use, on average, only 16 of 18 days. If you have any inclination to feel sorry for senators whose “summer recess” has been shortened, think

again. Admittedly, the word “recess” has the wonderful connotation of schoolchildren enjoying a brief reprieve from the routine demands of their teachers, but how should it apply to Congress? In an average year, the U.S. House is in session 138 days, while the Senate convenes for 162. Add to this a generous benefits package (platinum health care coverage, travel allowances and lifetime pensions), and the word “recess” should be changed to “vacation.” Even if we agree that these politicians deserve a European (rather than American) vacation from the Capitol, won’t they argue that their time off isn’t really vacation? Don’t they meet their constituents in town-hall meetings to gauge their concerns and explain policies or work hard to raise funds for their re-election? Consider the following: Colorado’s Republican senator, Cory Gardner, has refused to show up at town hall meetings, either unable to defend his party’s policies or too timid to face his constituents (Denver Post 3/1/17). And Colorado’s Democratic senator, Michael Bennet, is no better. He had his first town-hall meeting in two years on March 16. As for writing bills, lobbyists have been generous enough to offer full drafts of proposed legislation, most of which are voted on with minor, if any, revisions (NPR 11/11/13). And raising funds for re-election? “Congress has 11 percent approval ratings but 96 percent incumbent re-election rate,” according to a November 2014 Politifact piece. The threat of competition is negligible. When money is raised, it’s usually

at luxury resorts and restaurants, where the moneyed class entertains — sounds like vacation. Compare congressional entitlements (a nasty liberal word, as conservatives remind us) with those of K-12 teachers. Colorado Springs School District 11 expects 207 “work days” per year. With base starting salary of $32,206 for 186 teaching days, one wonders how this stacks up against congressional average salaries of $174,000 for fewer working days. When I joined UCCS, I was told three things about my meager salary and benefits package: • Part of your compensation is the beautiful scenery of the Rocky Mountains; • Your compensation only covers nine of 12 months, so the actual annual rate is much higher; and • You can make extra money in the summer. The most important argument, though, was missing: “Vacation time” is for research, and with plenty of (uncompensated) time, you may achieve the goals of your professed vocation. This sense of public service remains at the heart of professors and K-12 teachers, but may have eluded our congressional members who better relate to their wealthy donors for whom vacation is understood on a different level. If the French worker “who takes more than twice the vacation time” probably got it right, and if Congress agrees with the French that we all deserve vacations, shouldn’t everyone be paid to enjoy summer vacations, no matter what they do?

Smoke: Mayor says numbers don’t tell the whole story From page 7

market.” “We’re the solution to the black market,” said Elliott, a paid consultant for Citizens for Safer Neighborhoods, a group formed two months ago and funded by the medical marijuana industry. “Right now in Colorado Springs it’s legal for people to possess it and consume it, but they don’t have a legal way to purchase it in the city, which means the black market gets to largely be in control of it,” Elliott said. “The idea we’re trying to get out here with the economic study is that $20 million in tax revenue can go to the city and pay for stormwater, more cops, parks, potholes or it can go into the hands of those criminal organizations. It’s one or the other. “There is no [scenario where] marijuana isn’t bought and consumed and sold; we tried that for 80 years and it hasn’t worked. Marijuana has been illegal for 80 years. But it hasn’t disappeared. We have a way of making it safer and letting the city prosper by bringing it out of the shadows and into the light.”

‘EASY ECONOMIC CASE’ Strauss says his economic impact study was straightforward. “I examined the five largest cities that allow retail marijuana sales — Denver, Fort Collins, Boulder, Pueblo and Aurora — plus Adams County,” he said. “It was an easy economic case

to make, which is why many cities in Colorado and other states allow retail marijuana sales.” Again, the mayor disagreed. “Everybody’s talking about how flush Colorado is, and we can’t even widen I-25,” Suthers said. “Our schools are hurting. So this is not the savior everybody thinks it is.” Suthers argues there are other drawbacks — namely that retail marijuana shops would be detrimental to youth and would hinder new business development. That offsets the 1,500 jobs Strauss says will be created by retail marijuana shops. Lynnette Crow-Iverson, who served

on the Springs’ first marijuana task force and also owns a drug-testing business called Conspire, agrees with Suthers. “I think it’s a double-edged sword,” she said. “Any time you create jobs, it’s good. On the flip side, look at all the problems Pueblo has. Does the social cost outweigh the economic gain?” What keeps her up at night, CrowIverson said, is worrying about kids having easier access to marijuana. Suthers said, “I’ve been working with this problem going on 40 years and what I know is that adolescent use of a drug is relational to their perception of risk. If their perception of risk is low, they have higher use rates. We have

driven the perception of risk so low that we now have 12 percent of our 12- to 17-year-olds smoking in the last month. That’s 75 percent above the national average. If you start smoking pot at 12, 13 years old, that’s not a good harbinger of your future. That’s what I’m concerned about. Everybody says we don’t sell it to kids, but it gets in kids’ hands easier.” Crow-Iverson, whose company tests business employees as well as sports teams and schools for drug use, said failed tests have increased since 2012. “It’s much harder to hire than ever before, especially for construction companies,” she said. “We’ve seen a big increase for marijuana positives since 2012.” The Colorado Springs City Council could bring the issue before voters but won’t likely do that until 2018, if at all. Council President Richard Skorman, citing the tax revenue Pueblo collects from retail marijuana grows and shops, said, “I think we should get the money from recreational marijuana, because right now it’s being bled to other communities like Pueblo and Manitou Springs. I’d like to see it put in front of the voters, like they did in Pueblo, to have the opportunity to make recreational marijuana legal to sell in Colorado Springs so we could capture that tax revenue. It’s revenue we should be getting, and then we can regulate it well as a business, too.” CSBJ n
