South Scottsdale debuts branding, revitalization efforts. But will they work? And what does the city’s new hummingbird logo have to do with “bridg[ing] the [development] gap between [the McDowell Corridor] and downtown [Scottsdale]”? For answers, zip through to Steve Totten’s report in Phoenix Business Journal. http://bit.ly/2kjVw9p  
 
THE WRIGHT LOOK – Promenade Scottsdale will undergo redevelopment, redesign. “The Promenade, located at Scottsdale… and Frank Lloyd Wright… is set to undergo a two phase facade redesign and redevelopment starting this month…. ‘The design… celebrates the architectural heritage of Frank Lloyd Wright while preserving the spirit of the existing center…’” Get design details and view a post-facelift rendering at AZRE. http://bit.ly/2jvDNrc 
 
Mayor Giles readies agenda for Mesa, focuses on economy, feedback. “[Mayor John] Giles will outline his objectives at the annual State of the City Breakfast on… Jan. 31.” According to East Valley Tribune, in addition to the economy and getting resident feedback, the mayor will also “focus on public safety in the wake of growth… a business-friendly attitude… [and] workforce development that includes a higher number of college grad[s]…” http://bit.ly/2jLeO6W
 
Pima County leases to Rio Nuevo could insulate against gift clause suits. “Like the one filed by the… Goldwater Institute… alleg[ing] the deal [‘to finance and construct a launch pad and headquarters for the space balloon company’ World View] violates the Arizona Constitution’s gift clause, which… prohibits public bodies from lending their ‘credit in the aid of’ a corporation. Rio Nuevo is exempt from the clause… [and] is able to offer economic incentives and pursue deals… in ways that cities and counties can’t.” Read more in Arizona Daily Star. http://bit.ly/2jOanpn
 
Interstate 11 study feedback now available. “[ADOT] asked the public and agencies to share their ideas, comments and concerns about the Interstate 11 environmental study from Nogales to Wickenburg [the ultimate… goal is to create a direct interstate link from Tucson… to Las Vegas.]” For a study overview plus a link to the full report,” click to inMaricopa. (Also see the next Dealmaker item.) http://bit.ly/2kMqPGF
 
Arizonans express opposition to new I-11 freeway. “The 1,326-page report included a variety of comments, some from local municipalities and government agencies likely impacted by the project, [some from ‘an online survey that asked respondents how they’d like I-11 to take shape’].” For a sampling of the responses, nav to Kevin Reagan’s report in Pinal Central. http://bit.ly/2kMq4gZ
 
Dealmaker BONUS: What is the White House worth? Nearly $400 million, says Zillow. “Were [the White House] to actually be listed on Zillow, it would be the most valuable home on the site.” So how exactly did they come up with this figure and, as Zillow asks, “what can you get for just under $400 mill” — you know, besides a throng constantly milling about right outside your gate, chanting things like “LET THEM IN!” and other such anti-vetting slogans?

Because you are an informed person, as a supplement to the Dealmaker, we are providing you 3 (sometimes more/less) non-real estate related articles we thought you might enjoy!
Why home selling will never be the same. “With a sudden ferociousness, data scientists are charging into the real estate village, rattling the industry by changing how people sell their homes.” Brad Inman, the “founder and sole owner” of the real estate site that bears his name, examines “what that means for you” — and what it has already ‘meant’ for one Arizona realtor, who shares an experience that he had on OfferPad. http://bit.ly/2kKZ6u7

Arizona’s hotel industry growing faster than its national peers. “[A]ccording to year-end data from the market research firm Smith Travel Research…. Arizona’s hotel industry experienced gains that outpaced the U.S. average in several areas, including occupancy, average daily rate, and revenue per available room (RevPAR).” Get data highlights at ADI. http://bit.ly/2kGWwSt

THE PURLOINED LETTER? – State Election Director denies demanding voters be purged. “Election Director Eric Spencer said Jan. 26 that the Secretary of State’s Office received a letter from another state… requesting additional information about a list of voters. ‘The letter is seeking Arizona’s assistance to help the other state clean up its voter registration rolls,’ Spencer explained in response to the accusations.” So where is that (original) letter now? According to this AZCIR report from Evan Wyloge, “Spencer… and his staff cannot find [it],” and neither can “seven counties the Secretary of State sent the letter to…” Hmmm… Stay tuned. http://bit.ly/2k9z7JF
