Airpark at heart of Scottsdale’s redevelopment
City economic vitality director Harold Stewart said, “We are on the front edge of a reinvestment cycle for the airpark.”
According to Stewart, the airpark is one of the top three employment centers in the Valley - downtown Phoenix and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport being the other two.
Stewart said airpark businesses employ about 50,000 people, with up to 10,000 more expected in next five to 10 years.
City officials are working on a Greater Airpark Community Area Plan based on input from residents and businesses that will govern the district’s growth.
The airpark plan is one of six neighborhood plans that will be incorporated into the city’s general plan update in 2011.
John Lusardi, Scottsdale’s long-range planning director said, “It sets goals and polices for how the greater airpark should develop over the next 20 years.”
