PHOENIX – Fountain Hills approved an update to the town’s strategy to modernize its downtown area.
On Sept. 4, the town council unanimously approved of the updated downtown strategy, which had not changed since 2009.
The town will spotlight four areas of focus in its strategy: land use, infrastructure, economic vitality and public spaces/placemakaing.
“It is exciting to be building on and expanding our downtown into a walkable, bustling, mixed-use district that spans several blocks, helped by creative zoning, sidewalks, banners, lighting and new signage,” Fountain Hills Mayor Ginny Dickey said in a press release.
