Southern Scottsdale Visioning workshops begin Wednesday
Scottsdale residents living south of Indian Bend Road have a chance this week to help define the long-range character and development of their community.
They are invited to provide ideas and feedback for creation of the Southern Scottsdale Community Area Plan, a document that will guide future development and redevelopment in Southern Scottsdale.
The plan will include long-range goals for the area, plus policies to help achieve those goals. Some of the topics that will be addressed are land use, sustainability, economic vitality and regional connectivity.
Every opinion counts. If you live south of Indian Bend Road, now is the time to get involved in this vital planning process.
To kick-off the process, the city will be hosting a Southern Scottsdale Vision Week from Wednesday, March 26, through Saturday, March 29. Vision Week will offer numerous opportunities for discussion among community members and city staff.
