by Richard Dyer | Apache Junction/Gold Canyon Independent
When land south of U.S. Highway 60 is being developed, interest to locate businesses will soar, bringing needed jobs from manufacturing to distribution and construction, some candidates for Apache Junction City Council and mayor said.
Five Apache Junction residents have qualified to run for mayor and five others for three seats on City Council.
Running for mayor are Charles Austin, Robin Barker, Jeff Barlett, John Insalaco and Chip Wilson. Vying for council are Braden Biggs, Darryl Cross, Kelly Gremmel, Tess Nesser and Jeff Struble.
