BUSINESS Economy and Business

Greeley and Weld County continued to lead economic growth in 2019. Commercial development has followed Greeley’s above-average population growth.

True to our roots, agriculture and agri-business contribute significantly to our area’s economy. The most recent U.S. Ag Census ranked Weld County 9th in value of agricultural production. Weld County leads the state in 16 of the 27 categories within the ag census and tops the nation in sheep and goat production. Food processing world leaders JBS and Leprino Foods employ thousands in the community, further strengthening our economy. Energy, healthcare, education, manufacturing, and government organizations help keep our healthy economy balanced.

The City of Greeley Economic Health and Housing Department provides resources and support to ensure business success in Northern Colorado. This includes offering economic development incentives. Greeley Economic Development also provides industry partnerships, especially within the manufacturing and health sectors to continue to diversify Greeley’s economic base.
