Our hope is that Bicycle City has a vibrant economy, full of thriving business, bustling shops and restaurants, all of which will provide a strong job market for our community’s residents.

A lot of jobs will come from the development of the community, in the construction of the infrastructure, homes, restaurants, stores and office space, and in the design of landscaping, parks and community space. We expect to offer employment in our Welcome Center and Lodge.

We hope to attract high tech and clean tech companies who will relocate their headquarters and offer a variety of exciting jobs to our residents. Bicycle City will also be an ideal location for telecommuters who will enjoy leaving home at lunch time for a hike or strolling through town to pick up lunch.
