The Downtown Redevelopment and Implementation Strategy, adopted in 2012, has goals geared toward fostering revitalization in Apache Junction, such as public space, partnerships, branding, culture and art, the City Council was told recently.
It was approved as Resolution No. 10-34, which requires staff members to provide updates to the mayor and city council on the status of the items.
“In the DRIS, there are a number of goals that encourage the use of public space and partnerships to promote and, as you are aware, one of the greatest accomplishments is Flatiron Park,” Apache Junction City Manager Bryant Powell said at the council’s April 2 meeting.
