The Making Connections in Southwest Adams County Planning and Implementation Plan is a comprehensive plan with an emphasis on implementation. The plan identifies a list of 10 critical path policies and projects to be undertaken by Adams County in partnership with surrounding jurisdictions, stakeholders, relevant utility agencies and districts, and the development community to foster efficient and innovative infrastructure and development, supportive, multi-modal transportation systems, health and equity, and ultimately, providing for a high quality of life for those living, working, and recreating in the area. The Plan promotes collaborative, coordinated regional planning across jurisdictions and disciplines, and invites strategic, equitable, context sensitive and catalytic public and private investment and partnerships. Southwest Adams County includes 23,525 acres of land defined generally from Brighton Boulevard on the east, Sheridan Boulevard on the west, 52nd Avenue on the south, and 92nd Avenue on the north, and includes six RTD FasTrack Stations.
