And Bruns said that’s important because the Front Range corridor communities all need to work together to surmount growing work-force shortages.
“We’re all going to benefit up and down the Front Range,” Bruns said of the NCAR project. “And we all need to, because we’re in a race, a race for workers…. That shortage is not going to go away. That shortage is going to hit nationally.”
Bruns said he supports the regional push to “cement our future on the backs of computers, the computer industry and technology. NCAR is a piece of that.”
But, he added, “we’re going to have to work together to establish ourselves as a corridor, as a center for technology, or we’re all going to lose out.”
Bruns participated in a panel discussion with other economic developers in the region at Bixpo 2007, an annual regional business-to-business exposition held at The Ranch in Loveland, Colo.
Bixpo is sponsored by the Northern Colorado Business Report, the Boulder County Business Report, and the Wyoming Business Report.
