THINK OUTSIDE


THE BUBBLE

There is life outside of the Bubble
Look east, and you will find deluxe community ame-
nities, plenty of room to grow, property prices that
could make you blush and thousands of affluent
residents ready to support your business (and
15,000 more are on their way). Here, certainly
triumphs over risk. We believe power is for
business – not the ballot box.

Erie is just the jolt you need.
In fact, Erie is powered for business: Our progressive
civic vision and genuine small town atmosphere
mean we’re about as business friendly as towns get.

Welcome to Erie.  Powered for Business.

"This is as much my neighborhood as Boulder is," said owner Steve Ross, who lives about halfway between the Lazy Dog at 1346 Pearl St. in Boulder and the new location destined for Erie.  His restaurant has been in business in Boulder for the last 14 years.  The 58-year-old New York transplant said he long has eyed the Colo. 7 highway corridor for expansion because it is heavily traveled and provides the perfect venue for a highly visible storefront.

When T. Boone Pickens did this (at Oklahoma State), they were in the running for a national championship immediately, and that's all we want."
