In February Robert Mawson, community and economic development manager with Central Arizona Governments (CAG), presented the Globe City Council with the draft of a regional housing study and gap analysis. That report, completed in October 2021, outlined a variety of housing needs and development obstacles in the Globe-Miami community.
Mawson called the draft document, commissioned by the City of Globe, Town of Miami and local partners, “a snapshot in time” of the housing situation. He emphasized that it was not a housing market study or plan, but developers could use it as a springboard to form plans. For example, he said, the report caught the attention of Gorman & Company, who plan to renovate the former Hill Street School to create affordable senior housing.
