Case Studies
Greenway Business Park, Fruita, CO

The Fruita Refinery was an eyesore for the community, mainly because the site is among the first impressions of Fruita and Colorado when entering the state along eastbound I-70. Greenway Business Park will improve this image through the creation of lakes and wildlife areas, and the extension of regional trail access to the former refinery site.
