Thornton Wants To Move Empty Lots

The Thornton City Council discussed strategies for moving the city's empty lots during their regular meeting on Monday, April 6.

     Reporting from a meeting with the Promoting Thornton group, Mayor Brian Crowell asked the council about possible ways to make the city's available property more inviting for potential buyers. The city still has available lots at the old athletic grounds and elsewhere in town.

     Dropping the current asking price of the lots was suggested, along with offering a tax abatement or deferring the cost of installing infrastructure.
