Company Description:

A premier Colorado community, Lone Tree is a great place to live and work. The City of Lone Tree seeks an experienced professional communicator to become a key member of our team. This new position is responsible for a comprehensive redesign of our communication strategy and implementation to bring the City’s public reputation to the next level and prepare us for the successes to come.
 
THE COMMUNITY
The City of Lone Tree (pop: 12,800) is a modern, politically-stable, business-friendly, and family-oriented city. The community is ideally located just 15 miles south of Downtown Denver with easy automobile and light rail transit access to the region, including major sporting events, cultural activities, and two major national airports (Centennial and DIA).

Lone Tree was incorporated in November 1995 and became a Colorado Home Rule City on May 5, 1998. The organizational structure has evolved since its founding and the City now provides municipal services through a mix of in-house professional staff and contracted service providers. The City was formed as a municipal corporation after much of the existing community and basic infrastructure had been built in what was then unincorporated Douglas County, so numerous special districts also provide essential community services and infrastructure. The City of Lone Tree assesses no ad valorem property tax for City operations; however, its significant retail sector generates revenue for City services through a small sales and use tax.
 
Far from being built-out, Lone Tree is just embarking on its next phase of growth on a unique, 2,000 acre, mixed-use greenfield property served by two interstate interchanges and, soon, by two new light rail stations of the RTD Southeast Extension.  At build-out, this area of Lone Tree could eventually triple the City’s residential population and add 20 million square feet of commercial space, which would make the City an even more significant part of Colorado's economic engine. Planning for and guiding the development of this project will be a major focus of the City's leadership team for the foreseeable future.
 
With median household incomes exceeding $100,000 and a highly educated workforce, the City of Lone Tree is a great place to visit, work, live, play, and communicate. The City of Lone Tree is committed to exceptional quality of life and high-quality development within its boundaries. The City has an efficient, highly skilled staff; informed and well-connected elected officials; and a business-friendly climate.
