How Edison-Eastlake is being revitalized and transformed

By Keetra Bippus | AZ Big Media

After decades of disinvestment, a revitalization effort in Edison-Eastlake brings community initiatives and new housing units to the neighborhood located about one mile from downtown Phoenix.

In 2018, the City of Phoenix received $30 million for the Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grant for its One Vision Plan in the Edison-Eastlake neighborhood, the first community in Arizona to do so.

A resident of the area, Beverly Cattage, has lived in Edison-Eastlake for 5 years. She’s a member of the Resident Leadership Council, a part of the One Vision Plan. The council encourages residents to speak up about issues in their neighborhood and propose solutions.
