The City of Loveland is proud to be known as the community “Where Art and Science Meet.”  Each day Loveland’s entrepreneurs and their employees are creating, innovating and growing dynamic companies which offer products and services that change lives.  The Loveland Arts Economy is thriving with more than 30 galleries, 2 foundries and over 300 sculptures located within our City limits. 

Loveland has many “home grown” technology and bioscience companies such as Heska Corporation, Jorgenson Laboratories, Technology Driven Products, Colorado vNet, and SA Robotics.   In addition, Loveland enjoys the presence of international companies such as Woodward, Praxair, Agilent and HACH. 

In September of 2008, the Loveland City Council adopted an Economic Development Policy which includes a multifaceted approach to job attraction, retention and expansion.  This policy includes information on free services available to small business owners and incentive standards for both primary employers and retail and commercial developers.  In 2008, the City of Loveland awarded $1.34 million in incentives to primary employers and retailers.

The City of Loveland recognizes the importance of a sustainable, healthy economy and the need to develop and invigorate all areas of our community.  In 2002, the City established the Loveland Urban Renewal Authority and since that time has designated 3 project areas.  The first, in 2002 was 230 acres in Downtown Loveland.  In 2004, the City established the Centerra URA at the intersection of Interstate 25 and US Highway 34.  This project covers 2070 acres of land, with a maximum of 900 acres to be included in the collection of tax increment. In 2005, the Lincoln Place URA created a project area in Downtown Loveland which has resulted in the creation of a parking structure, 200 apartments and 22,000 sq ft of commercial space. 

Loveland, Colorado really is the place “Where Art and Science Meet.”  We welcome the opportunity to assist you with your business development needs and we thank you for doing business in Loveland. 

Sincerely;

Don F. Williams

Loveland City Manager
