While wells on are the rise, industrial space is at historical lows. According to data from CoStar, industrial vacancy rates in the county dropped to 6.5% in the fourth quarter of 2011. More specifically, of the 18.6 million sq ft of rentable building area in Weld County, only 1.2 million sq ft is vacant.

With accelerated business activity in the county, it is no surprise that Greeley recently made the National Association of Home Builder’s list of Improving Housing Markets and Builder Magazine listed Greeley in Top 20 Healthiest Housing Markets.
