Adams County ‘finding its place’ National site experts visit and discuss how county ranks BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Site development expert Jeannette Goldsmith told a crowd of local officials and business owners that she gets the sense that Adams County is trying to figure itself out, based on two days of tours and visits to local businesses and projects. Goldsmith, vice president of South Carolina-based site development search firm Strategic Development Group, said she’s been reminded of two counties in Tennessee — Sumner and Rutherford counties — while touring Adams County. Both counties are east of Nashville, Rutherford County to the southeast of Nashville and Sumner to the northeast. “Both are places that are trying to figure out where they fit in as a part of the Nashville metro area,” Goldsmith said. “I get the same sense about Adams County, trying to figure out where you fit in Metro Denver.” Rutherford County is home to the largest state university in Tennessee, as well as Nissan’s North American manufacturing facility. “They are really taking a tack to figure out what makes them unique and how they can add value,” she said..”Sumner is struggling a little bit to figure out their place in the region. Those two places have been in the back of my mind for the last 24-to-36 hours.” Goldsmith was one of three national site selection experts brought to the area by the Adams County Regional Economic Partnership to visit local developments and then give their opinions on how Adams County is doing — and what it can do better.

South Carolina-based site selection consultant Jeannette Goldsmith discusses workforce diversity July 22 at Commerce City’s Dicks Sporting Goods Park while co-panelists Andrew Shapiro, left, and Jerry Szaton listen. The event was part of breakfast presented by the Adams County Regional Economic Partnership and brought the three site selection experts to visit Adams County businesses PHOTOS BY SCOTT TAYLOR and developments July 19-22 to discuss how it stacks up to other regions of the country.
This is the fourth time the partnership has hosted the summit in five years, with the event returning for 2021 after taking a break in 2020. The Partnership brought in three site selection experts from around the country July 19 through 22. They included Goldsmith, Andy Shapiro, managing director of San Francisco’s Biggins Lacy Shapiro & Company LLC and Jerry Szatan of Chicago-based Szatan and Associates. All three are considered experts in helping large businesses find the best cities and communities around the country to expand their operations or to relocate. The group spent July 20 and 21 visiting a number of potential business magnets, ranging from Denver International Airport to the Colorado Air and Space Port and

from Fitzsimmons Innovation Community to the Stanley Marketplaces. Their day culminated in a farm-totable dinner and reception hosted by Adams County at Riverdale Regional Park and the July 22 breakfast. Commerce City hosted the breakfast discussion at Dicks Sporting Goods Park, for county, municipal and economic development officials and business owners from around the region. For Szatan, it was his second Adams County Site Selectors Summit. He visited the area in 2017 and said it was good to come back and see what had changed, especially RTD’s N-Line rail that connects Northglenn, Thornton and Commerce City to downtown Denver.
