Introduction
Fort Collins is the home of the Colorado State University and the New Belgium brewery and several others. It's also home to one of the best places to boulder in the world, according to Rock and Ice Magazine, Hoorsetooth Reservoir.
The city itself has about 130,000 residents, 40 parks within the city, over 20 miles of walking and bike paths and 3 golf course, but you probably aren't that interested in that. Fort Collins is located just minutes from the Poudre Canyon, Horsetooth Reservoir, Carter Lake, etc.
If you are looking at relocating the major employers, include Colorado State University, Poudre School District, Hewlett Packard, Poudre Valley Health Systems, Eastman Kodak, Larimer County, Agilent Technologies and the City of Fort Collins.

Getting There
Fort Collins is 70 miles North of Denver on I-25. Once you get there and you need help to find all the brew pubs, then hopefully this map will help.
Resources
Big City Burrito on the SW corner of Mulberry and College, is a great place to tank up.
The Pickle Barrel has great sandwiches and also serves drinks. Located a half a block west of College Avenue on the north side of Laurel St. Jax Outdoor Gear is located at 1200 N. College, has a phone of (970) 221-0544, and is a good, locally owned store for climbing and ski equipment. Unfortunately, The Mountain Shop, previously a great resource, has closed.
If a brew pub or "brewery tour" is more your thing, you have arrived in heaven! There is the New Belgium Brewery, where you have great beer combined with wacky folk, located on 500 Linden street. They support a lot of climbing events as well so that puts on top of the list! Odells is another brewery located om 800 East Lincoln Avenue. However, for tradition pub food and beer try Coopersmith's at 5 Old Town Square.
More to come, but I've got a lot of sampling to catch up on first!
