A modification of building permit fees is in order for residential and commercial owners within the Scottsdale McDowell Corridor.
Scottsdale City Council voted unanimously March 17 to temporarily modify residential and commercial building permit fees within the McDowell Corridor.
City leaders refer to the McDowell Corridor as an eight-square-mile area spanning McDowell Road from Pima Road west to Phoenix and including surrounding neighborhoods north to Osborn Road and south to the city limits.
Over the past year the city of Scottsdale has held a series of public meetings to learn what resident and proprietors of the area say would help fuel revitalization efforts.
