The Scottsdale Desert Discovery Center may become more than a figment of imagination.
Scottsdale City Council Monday, Jan. 11, by a measure of 6 to 1, approved one measure with three caveats including the budget transfer of $1.69 million in an effort to lay the foundation for an opportunity to construct an interpretive desert appreciation venue at the Gateway to the Upper Sonoran Desert.
Public dollars to be transferred will come from bed-tax remits assigned by city leaders to fund tourism efforts, city officials contend.
