Historic Splendid Valley: Preserving Farmland in Adams County and Brighton
We are coming up on five years since the approval of the District Plan, a joint plan adopted in 2016 by Adams County and the City of Brighton focused on the south Brighton agricultural area, now called Historic Splendid Valley. This award-winning plan was put together in response to ongoing public support for preserving valuable farmland and heritage, building on policies laid out in previous land use, and open space plans spanning more than 20 years.
The many action items in the District Plan fall under one of three overarching goals:
Delayed Opening - 10 a.m., Thursday, Feb. 25
Due to inclement weather, and with the safety of residents and county employees in mind, County Manager Raymond Gonzales has delayed the opening of county buildings until 10 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 25, including the offices of District Attorney, Justice Center, Probation, and Sheriff. The vaccination clinic at the Government Center will open at 8:30 a.m.
