Were did the Tech Jobs Go? Fountain Loses 319 Jobs

Fountain CO Homes (Prudential Professional ) — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 11:48:08 -0500

Sanmina-SCI will close Fountain Plant on Dec. 31

According to the Gazette in an September 14th article by Rich Laden, Sanmina-SCI will be closing their doors on

December 31, 2007 and will be cutting 319 jobs. Earlier this year Intel announced that they were leaving

town and shutting down the Colorado Springs factory which means an additional loss of 1000 jobs by the

end of the year. Fred Crowly, a local economist, states that the job cuts in Fountain could translate into the loss

of 400 other jobs in the area. To keep up with competition, many companies are sourcing their work overseas

were labor and other costs are minimized.

Fountain Code Enforcement on the LOOKOUT!

Fountain CO Homes (Prudential Professional ) — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 14:53:40 -0500

Real Estate Report for Fountain Colorado

According to a recent article in the Gazette written by DeeDee Correll, the Fountain Code Enforcement Department has been on the lookout for code violations in the Fountain Valley Area. Home owners with homes for sale in the area have been upset by their neighbors tall weeds and lack of property upkeep. Fountain has taken on a pro-active stance on the issue and have been out looking for blatant code violations. The city wants to keep Fountains property values good and its image clean. Some neighbors have complained and say that the city is picking on them. In my opinion every city should have code enforcement that takes on a pro-active stance for property issues! DeeDee goes on to state that property owners are given a chance before having to pay a fine.
