5 issues with high priority
Capital Improvement Plan
Apache Junction is putting together its new Capital Improvement Plan, which means city leaders are deciding how to spend tax dollars on local roads, parks, and facilities. Keep an eye on this to see what big construction and upgrade projects are coming to your neighborhood soon.
Budget Information
Ever wonder where your hard-earned tax dollars actually go? Apache Junction just dropped its latest budget info, so you can easily check how the city is spending public cash.
Surveillance Ordinance
Apache Junction is cracking down on potential privacy abuses by making it a crime for city workers to misuse the local Flock surveillance cameras. The city council voted unanimously to move this ordinance forward, with the final public hearing set for October 6.
State Route Control
Apache Junction is thinking about taking over State Route 88 from the state so they can fix traffic lights and issue permits faster. The catch? The city would have to pay for all the upkeep.
Flood Control
Apache Junction just broke ground on a massive 12-acre retention basin to finally get a grip on wild monsoon floods. If you live nearby, expect way better neighborhood drainage and significantly fewer flooded streets when summer storms roll in.
