Sterling is the hub city of the Northeastern Colorado prairie. Interstate
76, as well as Highways 6, 61, and 113 connect Sterling to the surrounding
region. Colorado Highway 14, our Main Street, offers an easy westward
corridor to the Fort Collins area. The Union Pacific Railroad and the
Burlington Northern Santa Fe both service Sterling, and have facilities
in our city. DIA and other Denver amenities are an easy 1.5 hour drive.
Sterling is so well-connected to the rest of the world, you will find
that the trucking and shipping units based in Logan County are in excess
of 300. While we are discussing location benefits, it should be noted
that Logan County is part of a State-designated Enterprise Zone. Such
designation has many beneficial ramifications in the form of tax credits.

in which to grow. Sterling can boast the best of both worlds. It's original
development as an agricultural community has gifted it with a heritage
rich in "small town" atmosphere, with a beautiful downtown area,
friendly neighbors, and the feel of a real "community." These
ag roots have also produced other things native to the prairie, like a
tradition of strong work ethic, and an extraordinarily loyal workforce.
The distance of Sterling from the rapid growth of the Front Range has
enabled the city to keep these positive qualities, while developing "big
city" resources rarely found in a community this si

| Community support for the Arts, including performance art and music, community theater, and a local passion for public sculpture, especially when it comes to Logan-County artist Bradford Rhea. |
| Excellent recreational opportunities for any age group. Sterling is near the top of the list in acres of public park per capita on a state level. The community also boasts an indoor pool and recreation center, a booming summer softball program, a public and a private golf course, Drive-in and regular movie theaters, and the North Sterling State Park is just minutes away for boating, swimming, and fishing. Logan County is truly a sportsman's paradise, with world class fishing and small game hunting, particularly dove, quail, and ring-necked pheasant. The sportsman also enjoys Sterling's proximity to Cabala's world headquarters, just 40 minutes away in Sidney, NE. |
