: 13352 Franklin St, Thornton, CO 80241 : I am a husband of 26 years, father of two daughters, a United States Marine Corps combat veteran and a police officer with 18 years of experience. : (303)601-2917 adamforthornton@gmail.com 1) Qualified, Accountable, Strategic 2) As a resident of Thornton, I see the needs that need to be met first-hand to improve our city as we move in a positive direction. I am a first responder and understand the importance of safety and serving a community. My leadership will steer our council at a faster rate to see that we are focused on economic development so that Thornton is a place we are proud to live, work, and do business in. 3) Neighborhood safety Roads and infrastructure Economic development 4) The North Metro Line is a great opportunity for the city. We will soon be able to provide a shorter and more convenient commute for our residents. It is important that our city planning is done thoroughly and we are sure to look at the perimeter around the station so that parking, personal safety, and real-estate development is all considered. 5) As our population grows in the state and the city, we need to be able to plan ahead for emergency services, housing, business, and open space areas now! Until the sections of Unincorporated Adams County that fall within the city’s current boundaries are annexed into Thornton, 168th Ave should be our Northern most limit. This should give us enough land to encourage developers, businesses, and homebuilders to expand to Thornton.
