Colorado River Valley Economic Development Partnership (CRVEDP)

Conceived in 2022 by the municipal managers and established in 2023, the CRVEDP is a conglomerate of the Colorado River Valley region namely New Castle, Silt, Rifle and Parachute/Battlement Mesa also often referred to as Western Garfield County. With the assistance and support of the Rifle Regional Economic Development Corporation, which has been focused on economic development in the region since 2007, the goal of expanding the group is to ensure the entire region is represented, commonalities are identified and suitable strategies and initiatives are developed to allow our region to thrive. The CRVEDP has been purposely built on a public/private partnership with representatives required to be from government, business and non-profit entities to allow for diversity in opinions and experience.
