What's Great About Greeley

Great. From the Ground Up.

Learn why Greeley is . . . Great. From the Ground Up.

Greeley is a diverse, growing community of over 90,000 residents with many, many extra-ordinary people who help make this an outstanding city in which to live, work and do business. In order to celebrate our successes, which are the product of hard-working residents, we decided to create a recognition program for local organizations, businesses and individuals. What's Great From the Ground Up recognizes all that's right about Greeley: individual and team student athletic and academic achievements; positive partnerships between businesses and schools; national rankings for growth; and numerous local, state and national awards earned by our non-profit, civic and government workers.

A quote from Gelene McDonald, the mother of a local resident and city employee, encouraged us to create What's Great About Greeley, which is an expression of how we feel about our community. "If you belittle what you have it becomes less. If you appreciate what you have it becomes more."
