Economic Development and the TDA
The Economic Development Department houses Urban Renewal Plans written in conjunction with the Thornton Development Authority, also known as the TDA. The TDA is an urban renewal authority created in 1981 for the purpose of removing blight and promoting the revitalization of Thornton. The Authority promotes economic vitality by using tax increment financing to spur redevelopment activities that would otherwise not occur. The plans below feature links to Economic Development's external website, and are provided for your convenience.
