When will…. corner change?
With the momentum already in place at Shea, we are focusing on Cactus, Thunderbird, and Greenway as our next hubs of change to drive new businesses and beautification. The policy plan that Bill Gates (Arizona) put into place and Councilwoman Debra Stark continues to assist us with implementing was a 10 year plan, so this change was never intended to happen overnight yet we are working diligently to make it happen as quickly as we are able.
To strategically and effectively implement this plan, we had to focus first on where there was already momentum (32nd and Shea, hello 32 Shea) to prove to businesses that we are the place to be. This is an evolutionary time for our community. Together we will be able to enhance it. Together we are a community, so let’s rise the tide up together.
