Today, after attracting nearly 10,000 high tech jobs, including Sun Microsystems, Level 3 Communications, Ball Aerospace, McDATA, Hunter Douglas Window Fashions and Geneva Pharmaceuticals Corporation to their city, the Broomfield city council voted unanimously to limit to 300 the number of new homes that may be built each year in their city limits.  Broomfield, with a population of 43,000, expects to add 50,000 jobs to its community over the next 10 years, resulting in a demand for several thousand new homes a year.  However, most of these workers will be expected to live someplace else and  commute into Broomfield.

The $200 million Flatirons Regional Shopping Mall has recently broken ground and will provide out-standing shopping with major tenants Lord & Taylor, Foleys, Nordstroms and Dillards.
