Even though smaller in size than some other economically strong suburbs in American, Louisville has about 1700 acres of dedicated open, green space. Business growth is planned to occur in the Centennial Valley area and the office/industrial park called the Colorado Tech Center. Thus, additional growth in new jobs for Louisville is also planned by city officials in conjunction with business and educational/training facilities.
