West Greeley Self Storage awarded $20,000 county fee credit

GREELEY — West Greeley Self Storage has been approved as a recipient of Weld County’s Small Business Incentive Program, which will allow it a credit of $20,000 to offset land use, building permit, and various impact fees.

Once fully built on 95th Avenue in Greeley, the business will be a 569-unit storage facility with 108,500 square feet of rentable space for rentable space for both commercial and residential customers.

The program is designed to reduce upfront capital expenditures for small businesses located in unincorporated Weld County. In order to be eligible, applicants’ businesses must hire at least half of their workforce from Weld County, have 25 or fewer employees at the time of application and consult with the Small Business Development Center about their business plan.

According to Weld County Commission chairwoman Barbara Kirkmeyer, “The commissioners started the Small Business Incentive Program with businesses like West Greeley Self Storage in mind. The program is designed to promote economic activity in our county by helping small businesses afford the startup costs and fees.”

The idea for the program was born in 2011, when Weld County commissioners participated in a statewide economic-development strategy that resulted in a bottom-up approach to economic development. After the plan was put in place, the commissioners set aside $500,000 from the county’s Economic Development Fund to develop the program.
