Windsor

The Community of Windsor

Windsor is located at the epicenter of both Northern Colorado and the “new energy” economy.  Helping make the transition from sugar beets and agriculture as historical primary employers, Danish wind turbine company Vestas selected Windsor for its first Colorado plant.

Windsor’s quaint downtown offers fine dining, social coffee shops and boutique shopping.  The town provides medical services from multiple providers and four full-service hospitals are within 25 minutes driving time. Residents of Windsor enjoy the small town atmosphere, a variety of housing options and a convenient, central location.
