“We’ve seen a surge,” says Lacombe. “The higher education market (Colorado College, UCCS) is very active; health care is incredibly strong, with new hospitals, clinics and educational support facilities underway; the manufacturing sector its picking up with new and renovation work planned; cultural facilities are especially strong (U.S. Olympic Museum, National Museum of World War II Aviation, Pikes Peak Summit House, Pioneer Museum renovations, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo facilities)—the markets appear to be robust.”
