The Hiwan Homestead Museum, 4208 Timbervale Drive 100,000-square-foot
multi-building technology center located on fifteen scenic acres in Evergreen, Colorado. With one 31,000-square-foot building complete and fully
occupied. Building 2, a 21,600 square foot structure, is approximately 40% complete and available for pre-lease. The Park offers flexible floor
plans designed to accommodate office, research and development, distribution, medical facilities, and light warehouse uses. CCTP features a
fiber optic communication system made available by U.S. West featuring over 6,000 POTS, T1 and ISDN connections. All of the buildings at CCTP
are connected via conduit links providing tenants direct hard wire connections to our state of the art high speed Internet Service Provider. In November 1998, Evergreen enjoyed the dedication of
three new roadside signs in Evergreen, the first ever. The one in the north, even though not marking any boundary is stylishly built with wood
beam and stone. It simply says, Evergreen, Our Mountain Community. Two other smaller signs, built in similar style, mark the west and east
boundaries of the historic down town district, called the "Heart of Evergreen". All signs were the cooperative effort of the community
and were facilitated by the 1996 class of Leadership Evergreen. The first intersection one reaches after exiting I-70
onto the Evergreen Parkway, The latest stab at population published in 1998 by the
Chamber of Commerce, indicates there are approximately 24,000 residents living in 9,200 residences Among the oldest volunteer organizations is the Evergreen
Volunteer Fire Department. Expertly trained and knit tightly together with a common goal of a very serious nature, the volunteer fire
department has grown in number and sophistication. Our fire department recently contained a fire in the middle of downtown Evergreen to just the
affected building. (Most of the buildings in downtown Evergreen are old and alleys are non-existent). We lost one of our oldest buildings, but only
one. In the 1950's, local businessmen locked their doors and ran hell-bent to mid-town to the firehouse at the sound of the fire siren. The
siren was activated when needed, by a "number please" telephone operator, and the telephone switchboard was located in lower Evergreen
in an office attached to the local manager's home. The town dog, Rex, who walked to work every day with the postmaster, howled mournfully at the
sound of the siren. |
