Small
Business Climate in Silverton
In the last
five years, San Juan County has assisted and recruited
seven start-up and relocating businesses to our small
community of 550 year-round residents in the San Juan
Mountains of southwestern Colorado. What brings them
here? An incredible mountain setting, a down-to-earth
community, a skilled and well-educated workforce,
available commercial real estate, affordable rents,
attainable housing, exceptional schools, innovative
childcare, phenomenal air quality, internet and supply
line infrastructure, minimal commuting, and freedom from
the crime, gang and drug problems that plague other
communities. Silverton is not for everyone, but for
those who are charmed by its rural, small-town feel -
Silverton is paradise found.
