Testimonials

"Without FEDC’s Incubator Program, our business would have struggled to survive. The discounted rent gave us the breathing room we needed in those critical early stages, and the connections we made through the program opened doors we couldn’t have accessed on our own. It was truly a game-changer for our growth."

Mike Armstrong – Westward Machine and Tool Inc.

“FEDC is the most effective economic catalyst in Fremont County. They aren’t waiving a lot of signs to draw attention to themselves because they are selflessly pre-occupied with making the projects and community around them successful. The staff is overqualified, the board is diverse, and the projects are innovative. Our company 3 Rocks Engineering & Surveying has been able to provide many jobs thanks to the projects that FEDC has brought to Fremont County.”

Alex Ewers – PE, CFM Civil Engineer at Owner 3 Rocks Engineering & Surveying

"FEDC pioneered the concept that became Emergent Campus. They continue to be a great partner, expert, and champion for creating sustainable economic programs for Fremont County and southern Colorado."

Brad Rowland – Partner & GM at Emergent Campus
