At one time, talk about downtown Tucson centered around lost opportunity, corruption and failure. Judging from an expert panel recently assembled by Arizona Forward, that’s no longer the case. Now, discussions are optimistic as experts talk about growth, development and the positive impact the modern streetcar has had.
Arizona Forward assembled a panel consisting of Fletcher McCusker, CEO of Sinfonia Healthcare and chair of the Rio Nuevo Board, Michael Keith, CEO of the Downtown Tucson Partnership, and Arthur C. Nelson, Associate Dean for Research and Discovery for the University of Arizona.
The board spoke to about 80 people during a special Tucson event on March 26.
