Gilbert will seek public feedback on the possible designation of the town’s first and densest employment area as a place in need of revitalization.
The boundary for the Northwest Growth Area, home to heavyweights like GoDaddy and Lockheed Martin, essentially runs from Baseline Road south to Elliott Road and from Arizona Avenue east to Cooper Road. It contains 20.7 percent of the town’s jobs and is home to 2.3 percent or over 7,500 residents, according to officials.
“This is something I’ve been talking with people on the Council for over 10 years,” said Councilwoman Kathy Tilque at a Jan. 25 study session.
