Colorado Springs Loses a Good One

For 16 years, Rocky Scott led the charge to bring tens of thousands of jobs to the Pikes Peak region. Now, Scott is taking a new job, one that will lure him from Colorado Springs. S

Scott, who has been president of the Greater Colorado Springs Economic Development Corp. since 1989 and whose expertise on the economy, education, tax policies and other issues earned him a reputation as a farsighted community leader and savvy economic development expert, announced this week that he’s resigning effective June 10.

Scott will leave to head the office and industrial properties division of McWhinney Enterprises, a Loveland real estate investment and development firm.

Best of luck, Rocky. Rocky is one of the best. He will be missed in Colorado Springs.
