An article from The Denver Post, reports that when ConocoPhillips builds out the 432-acre Louisville campus it purchased earlier this year, it could bring more than 7,000 jobs to the area.  Mary Manning, general manager for global real estate and facilities services for ConocoPhillips, said while the company doesn't know exactly how many people will work on the campus, it plans to seek approval from Louisville to accommodate at least 7,000 over the next 20 years.  According to Manning, she expects the first phase of the project to be completed in 2011, rather than in June 2012 as previously announced.  Louisville Mayor Chuck Sisk said he doesn't expect the community will have a shortage of housing as the campus grows.  He added, "We just approved 700 (housing) units in Louisville in the last year, and 350 more are coming downtown."
