The historic Pope Block at 317 N. Main St. is looking for its next owner.

Located in the heart of Downtown Pueblo, this 38,000 square-foot property offers existing office and cubicle infrastructure, data-ready capabilities, a flexible multi-floor layout, and convenient access to I-25 and Highway 50.

Got a different idea? Bring us your vision. The size, layout, and downtown location also open the door to creative redevelopment possibilities to create something entirely new.

With downtown businesses and amenities just steps away, there's plenty of potential to rethink what this building could become.

Colorado has several geographically based incentives tools available to support investment and growth.

Enterprise Zones are a Colorado program designed to encourage development in economically distressed areas. Qualifying businesses may be eligible for state income tax credits and certain sales/use tax exemptions tied to things like business investment, job creation, and training.

Opportunity Zones are a federal program that offers tax benefits to investors who place eligible gains into Qualified Opportunity Funds that invest in designated communities. The current Opportunity Zone designations remain in place through 2026, with a new round of designations beginning in 2027.

This map shows how those two incentive areas currently overlap in Pueblo.

Note: Current Opportunity Zone designations shown; boundaries may change with the 2026 redesignation process.

Forget pumpkin spice. In Pueblo, fall smells like roasting chiles 🌶️🔥

Chile roasting season is here, and the Pueblo Chile & Frijoles Festival is right around the corner.
