Q:
What do “community” and the Canyon Corridor
mean to you?
A:
I believe a strong community serves as the
foundation for all of the positive changes
taking place in the Canyon Corridor.
Though I am focused on all areas of District
5, the Canyon Corridor is special because it
has become a model for the positive impact
true collaboration can have on an area.
The impact has already been tremendous
and what is ahead for the area is truly
exciting. I am humbled to be a part of the
mission for the revitalization of these core
neighborhoods in our city.
Q:
Now that you are settled in office and educated
on the issues of Canyon Corridor, where do
you think the opportunities are to improve the
community?
A:
The real opportunities come from continuing
to strengthen the alliances between
residents, business owners, the city and other
stakeholders. Focusing on strengthening
neighborhoods, expanding our economic
base and investing in public safety needs to
be the cornerstone of our efforts. Engaging
the community and accessing funds and
resources for revitalization efforts are vital to
expanding the improvements we have made.
Bringing city resources to current businesses
and finding opportunities to bring new
businesses to the area for residents is key.
We will continue working with the Greater
Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, Local
First AZ and the Greater Phoenix Economic
Council to encourage businesses to invest in
the area which will bring jobs, dollars and
a vibrancy that will continue to transform
Canyon Corridor neighborhoods. Ensuring
the area has public safety resources also
needs to be a priority.
Q:
What have you learned in your time in office
that has influenced your goals to assist our
neighborhood to grow to greater social health
and broader civic and community participation?
