Provide input on Scottsdale Civic Center rebuild. This project will revamp portions of Scottsdale Civic Center as the community’s signature special event and public gathering space. In November 2019 Scottsdale voters approved two bond questions, which included funding to replace aging infrastructure and create public and event spaces in the Civic Center area.
While there is a great deal of lush landscaping, public art and open space in the Civic Center area, they are showing their age, including outdated restrooms, oversized fountains, and other structural and electrical deficiencies. Proposed improvements are based on the community outreach and Civic Center Municipal Use Master Plan the City Council approved in 2018.
To provide input and learn more, visit the project website by Friday, June 11. Click on the “Virtual Public Meeting” link, watch and listen to the presentations, then submit your comments.
