Much like the days of the pioneers, Douglas County is where the action is. The northern part of the county is home to Highlands Ranch, Colorado's most successful new community. It also is home to one of the newest toll highways in the United States, E-470, which is forming the basis of transportation "beltway" around southeast metro Denver. Douglas County's booming growth, active economic development agencies and strong real estate community will ensure the county continues to be the focus of the state, both in a historical sense and as a leader into the future.
