Broomfield City/County is located at the heart of the region’s most dynamic growth center along the Denver-Boulder corridor. In spite of tremendous development in every sector from retail to high-tech industry, residents of Broomfield take pride in their hometown values and the welcoming atmosphere they have diligently created and preserved. Relocating corporate giants in the late ‘90s, new highway connections, and the 2000 opening of the regional FlatIron Crossing shopping mall combined to intensify the attention placed on Broomfield. Planned business parks, a highly skilled workforce, and thousands of acres of land for development have made it a prime choice for new business and industry.
Broomfield became a hotspot for growth as long ago as the 1950s, when a true sense of identity developed along with closely knit neighborhoods in a beautiful new master-planned community. The careful planning and vision that marked the city’s genesis has continued to guide development and expansion. Local government, residents, schools, and businesses work together to ensure an exceptional quality of life.
City/Council Government
The City of Broomfield experienced rapid growth and expansion over the last four decades of the past century, annexing from its stronghold in Boulder County to include land in Jefferson, Adams, and Weld Counties. The confusion and problems that arose from this multi-county situation prompted residents to request a constitutional amendment that would create a City and County of Broomfield. After a three-year transitional period, the new unified government for this area became official on November 15, 2001.
Services
Area youth have the advantage of a public education in highly respected districts, where graduates earn high test scores and enjoy a wide selection of outstanding colleges close to home.

State-of-the-art health care is available in nearby hospitals like St. Anthony North in Westminster or Avista Adventist Hospital in Louisville. Major medical centers and hospitals as well as clinics and a wide spectrum of specialized care are also available in Boulder and Denver. A superior network of ground and air transportation services that are continually being upgraded and expanded bring Denver and Boulder’s world-class services and amenities to Broomfield’s doorstep. At a cost of $20 million, the privately funded Northwest Parkway connects Interlocken Business Park to Denver International Airport.
