Two ALCC member companies were recognized in this year’s Inc. 5000, a list of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States.

Demonstrating 84% growth over a three-year period, Denver-based Lifescape Colorado rose from #4517 on the list to #3682 in its second year on the roster. The business, led by owner/president Michael Hupf, recently relocated to a new, larger space along the South Platte River. Their tremendous development over the last decade led them out of their River North location and into a 3.44-acre site that is able to house their growing operations.

Emerald Isle Landscaping made the list for the fourth year in a row, boasting 142% growth over the last three years. They came in at #2508 in 2016. Founded in 1977, Emerald Isle offers total maintenance services along the Front Range from Fort Collins to Pueblo.

The Inc. 5000 ranks businesses according to their overall annual revenue growth over a three-year period. To be eligible, companies “must be privately held, for profit; based in the U.S.; and independent (not a subsidiary or division of another company).” Companies included in the list are also invited to the 2016 Inc. 5000 Conference and Gala, to be held in October in San Antonio.
