Colorado Economy

Colorado is a main transportation and distribution center for the Rocky Mountain region. This is because it is located about halfway between the major cities in California and the Midwest. Because of its location, many large banks and manufacturing companies have established branch offices in the state. The United States Government owns more than a third of Colorado's land, where it controls grazing, mining, and logging.

If you like war planes, Colorado could be the state for you. The United States Air Force Academy and defense headquarters are located in the state. The North American Aerospace Defense Command is located 1,200 feet underground in Cheyenne Mountain, near Colorado Springs.
