West Valley Regional Partnerships
The Mayor proclaimed West Valley Day, spotlighting the regional partnerships in economic development, transit, arts and public safety that the small city leans on to compete with bigger neighbors.
Downtown Revitalization and Economic Development
New ribbon-cuttings (cafés, hotels, an African market) are bringing shopping — and sales tax dollars — back to Tolleson instead of leaking to other cities. Next year's focus: beautifying the 91st Avenue and Paseo de Luces entrances to help attract a downtown grocery store. The Mayor also noted two restaurants recently closed and asked staff to recruit replacements.
