Gilbert’s Heritage District investment paying off

By Cecilia Chan | Gilbert Sun News

Gilbert’s longtime investment in the Heritage District is paying off: with every $1 the town has spent, there’s a $1.47 in return.

The Town in 1989 designated 168 acres downtown as a redevelopment area in need of revitalization and substantial growth has been occurring every year in the district since 2007.

“There was an increase in the last 10 years of 198% for sale-tax collection in the area,” said Sydney Bethel, redevelopment specialist. “This actually outpaced the town-wide, sales-tax collection of 131% over the same period, which is very exciting.”
