|  Colorado Springs, located in the Pikes Peak region of Colorado, is surrounded by the beauty of the Rocky Mountains. It is Colorado's second-largest city, just 80 miles south of Denver and 80 miles east of world-class skiing. Its dry, clean air is warm in the summer and moderate in the spring, fall and winter, allowing for year-round recreation.
Because the region is comprised of small towns and cities, families can choose from a variety of communities and yet remain a short distance from work. The region has attracted large, technically advanced companies to the area, and the United States Olympic Committee also has its national headquarters here. Since 2004, Progressive has operated a regional facility in Colorado Springs, where more than 1,300 people work in customer service, IT or claims. (Sources: U.S. Census Bureau, 2006;
