Marana celebrates a year of success at State of the Town Address
by Logan Burtch-Buus | Marana News
New parks, animal services, national recognitions and plenty of new businesses: Regardless of the metrics, Marana is a premier place to live, work and play.
That was the major takeaway from the 2018 State of the Town address last Thursday, April 19 at the Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain. The gathering is an opportunity for the mayor and town staff to relay the successes of the previous year to the community. This year’s master of ceremonies was longtime Marana resident (and former Broadway performer) Jack Neubeck. The address was hosted by the Marana Chamber of Commerce.
“Marana is an incredibly special place for my family and me,” said Neubeck, who’s been involved in a variety of positions throughout Marana. “It’s where we’ve decided to put down roots. I may not be from Marana originally, but it’s where I’ve chosen to make a home. I’ve made that choice because of the incredible residents and businesses we have here.”
