Meet Angie Bedolla
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE 
Angie advocates and collaborates for health and safety, infrastructure improvements, sustainable growth, and supporting our business community through economic, community, and leadership development.
Angie has spent her career bringing parties together. This work has improved communities, forged strong relationships, and helped businesses of all sizes thrive.
Since 2015, Angie has worked directly on economic development in her positions with both Adams County Economic Development, Xcel Energy, and now works for CORE Electric Cooperative. These roles have equipped Angie with the valuable experience and knowledge needed to support private industry job creators to effectively locate or re-locate their businesses into communities like Thornton. She believes from experience that when good companies and the local community work together, great things happen. And Angie wants to use this experience to benefit Thornton.
Angie’s experience in real estate transactions, skill in advocating for and negotiating redevelopment (including Thornton Shopping Center), knowledge in analyzing companies and industries appropriate for the community, and commitment to business retention and expansion is critical in ensuring Thornton continues to thrive.
Angie earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management while working and raising her two daughters. She also participated in the 2019-2020 Adams 12 Leadership Academy where she learned about educational policies, actions, and financials. In addition, Angie completed Impact Denver where she worked with others on a community project for an organization in the Metro area. Angie finds these leadership opportunities exciting as she thrives off of helping businesses and communities overcome challenges to become stronger.
