Today Allied Van Lines, on e of the nation’s largest moving companies, announced that Colorado was 2nd only to Texas for the most “households arriving” into the state in 2010.    The formula is simple — the # of households Allied moved into the state versus the number of households it moved out of Colorado.  Colorado had a net gain of 404, with 2190 moving in and 1786 moving out.

The framing is clearly visible from throughout the north end of Castle Rock.

Centura Health broke ground on the new hospital with a Est. completion of phase 1 in late 2011. The main entrance of the hospital will be off of Meadows Parkway and occupy the entire intersection of Meadows Parkway and Meadows Blvd. Directly north of the AMC Movie Theatre.

This has spurred movement in the planned Meadows Town Center. Sounds like that project is getting closer to fruition. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear of official announcements of tenants by the summer of 2011.

The Centura project is expected to help home values throughout Castle Rock, especially in The Meadows.

Through September, there were 300 new home permits issued, up 140 permits from the Town forecast amount of 160. That is a 230% increase! Of course, in the early to mid 2000′s, there were several years of 1,000+ new houses built in town. But it is good to see housing starts are up this year as compared to expectations.
Is this a sign of things to come? Or it is due to the fact that Castle Rock is a great town to live, and therefore is less affected by the current economic conditions? Hoping it is a bit of both.
