I was born and raised in Northglenn and am still here generating business during these challenging times. We certainly appreciate the support of the city and council. I couldn't be more proud of the work the municipality is doing. Thanks again for recognizing the tough times and giving small business a significant boost in spirit and survival. - Tom Sandoval, president, Pat-Cin Enterprises
