For decades, Town of Marana leaders have dreamed of creating a true downtown for the traditionally ranching and farming community northwest of Tucson.
The closest they’ve come is the 28-acre Main Street project, a smattering of chain restaurants and drive-thru coffee shops at the Marana Road exit on Interstate 10 that opened in 2014.
But that’s about to change.
The town last week released conceptual drawings of Downtown Marana, a 20-acre walkable entertainment and retail district on North Marana Main Street and West Civic Center Drive inspired by Mule Alley at Fort Worth Stockyards in Texas.
