Every day, local leaders across Colorado are hard at work to create a more livable place for their community. They want better jobs, thriving local businesses, and real opportunities for their communities. These leaders want an economy that benefits the community and makes people’s lives better, and the Colorado Brownfields Partnership wants that, too.
A single redeveloped brownfield site can do wonders for the local economy. This is why the Colorado Brownfields Partnership is a state-wide initiative, so that we can weave the local impacts from each brownfield site together to create a large-scale economic impact in the state of Colorado.
Our program has inspired and enabled the cleanup, revitalization, and redevelopment of many brownfield sites across Colorado. We also work to spread awareness about quality economic development across the state that leads to smarter spending, economic growth, and more livable places.
The Colorado Brownfields Partnership was extraordinarily impactful in supporting the revitalization of Downtown Rifle through the restoration of the Ute Theater. Overcoming the barriers to restoring historic properties is just one of the ways that brownfields can be a flexible tool in your toolbox.

The Colorado Brownfields Partnership has been helpful in telling the story of the redevelopment of the Ute Ulay. They have been a champion for this project, helping us through every phase. The environmental stabilization and historic preservation of this site will protect downstream natural resources and create a heritage tourist destination.

The Colorado Brownfields Partnership was incredibly helpful in supporting the restoration and improvement of recreational access along the San Miguel and Dolores Rivers in West Montrose County. They helped us apply for and receive over $200k in grant funding from the Uravan Mine & Mill Settlement which was instrumental in getting this critical project completed.

The Compass Project could not be coming at a better time for our community, which is working to address many long-term challenges while also navigating new growth and an increase in visitation. Though we still have more work to do, the project has been a great asset to our community.
