120th AVENUE GETS A LOOK FROM WALMART
Broomfield Planning Director, Terrance Ware confirmed that Wal-Mart has expressed interest in locating in the 120th Avenue corridor. City official have been anxious to see redevelopment in the eastern entryway to Broomfield for several years. This is the biggest possible activity to occur in the eastern end of the corridor in recent memory. Specifically, Wal-Mart expressed interest in the 35-acre parcel that is now home to Barber¡Šs Poultry. Just last year City Council adopted the 120th Avenue Plan that suggests the area will redevelop with a mix of uses that could include large format shopping, a civic center, housing and pedestrian oriented retail. Mr. Ware noted that Wal-Mart could be the economic catalyst to launch a desirable redevelopment of the corridor.
