Quality of life,combined with the fact that the Denver metro area truly standsalone--head and shoulders above other cities in this region of theUnited States--makes it an incredibly strong attraction tocompanies who want to relocate. That's a key reason we originallyinvested in the Denver metro area 20 years ago, and why we're sopositive about our efforts today."
