CONGRATULATIONS TO THE
DENVER BRONCOS
AFC CHAMPIONS!
ODELL C. BERRY
TRIBUTE TO A
FORMER DENVER BRONCO
Long-Time Five Points Property and Business Owner
|
|
|
Odell still holds a place in the Broncos' record books with the second-most
kickoff return yards in a season.
|
After his retirement from professional football, Odell Barry involved himself heavily in the civic affairs of Northglenn, CO.
He built a successful real estate business with his wife, Glenda, and raised his family. These years were a preamble to his historic 1980 election as the first African-American mayor of Northglenn.
Odell was the first African-American citizen to become a charter member of Rotary International, the first African-American citizen to become president of the Colorado Civil Defense Association, the chair of the Colorado Economic Development Commission, and a crucial advocate for building, and bringing a professional baseball team, the Colorado Rockies, to Colorado.
In 2006, Odell was inducted into the Ford-Warren Library's esteemed Blacks in Colorado" Hall of Fame.
Odell Barry is a Coloradan who has made a substantial impact on our State while serving as a role model for achievement in the African-American community.
In recognition of his achievements and his already secure place in Colorado history, the Five Points Business District and the Five Points community
pay tribute to Odell C. Barry congratulating him for a lifetime of accomplishments!

The Five Points Business District (FPBD) has set in motion a process to explore the creation of a special district armed at supplementing city services and to potentially provide a wider range of other services to area businesses and property owners.
You can be a part of the Five Points Business Improvement District (BID)/General Improvement District (GID) Feasibility Study. Go to the FPBD website www.fivepointsbiz.org to fill out the survey listing services to consider for Five Points.
These services are for your benefit since you would ultimately help fund them.
Please complete the survey by Friday, February 12th and return to our office.
