Gilbert wants to expand its re-energizing efforts beyond the boundaries of the aging Northwest Growth Area, which boasts the largest concentration of jobs in town.
The Urban Land Institute in 2019 recommended that the town should look at a buffer radius around the employment center to ensure that deterioration and aging hadn’t proliferated.
“As staff continued to compile data about the Northwest Growth Area…it became clear that the signs of maturity weren’t limited to the Growth Area alone,” said Amanda Elliott, Redevelopment Program manager at last week’s council study session.
