Located in Rifle, Colorado, this mixed use development provides a great opportunity for large businesses to locate themselves along I-70, a primary transportation corridor, and to create jobs for the area. Positioned just south of Garfield County Airport, land uses for the development include industrial, commercial and support uses for the airport, as well as public institutional uses. Colorado Mountain College has relocated to the project site and is currently thriving in its new location.

It is important that Rifle Airpark engage with the river corridor and offer visual and physical connections to the rest of the Town. To ensure these connections, a meaningful trail system is provided within linear open space corridors, along hillside ridges and adjacent to major roadways. A focus on open space as a key design component of the overall master plan for Rifle Airpark, unifies, visually enhances and creates activity corridors for a development dominated by industrial, commercial and institutional uses.
