GLENDALE, AZ - Glendale is working to add a modern twist to an area that dates back to the 1800s. "Downtown has the full attention of the council and the staff," said Council Jamie Aldama, who is helping lead the effort. Last month, the Chamber of Commerce hired a Downtown Manager to work as a liaison between business owners and the city. An entertainment district was established earlier this year, allowing bars and liquor stores to open on a case-by-case basis near churches and schools -- and construction is underway to make a second alleyway more pedestrian friendly, with brick walkways, benches and lighting. "What we were looking for is a nightlife," Aldama said, who added those efforts are already paying off with new restaurants opening in the area.  By DARRELL JACKSON, Staff Writer
The Glendale Star After lengthy discussion and a local resident’s request to have an American flag permanently placed atop Thunderbird Conservation Park, council is closer to approving the request. Council heard an update during the Aug. 15 workshop and directed staff to research an ordinance that would allow the existing flagpole to remain at Arrowhead Park. Mayor Jerry Weiers has pushed for a permanent flagpole on top of Arrowhead Point for more than a year and after conversations with members of the Glendale Chamber of Commerce’s Military and Veterans Affairs Committee, has been spearheading the effort. “They have already committed to raising the needed money and will raise every penny and partner in placing the flagpole,” Weiers said. |
