2006 – Another Year of Progress for Northeast Phoenix
New years are seen as symbolic of new beginnings. This is a special New Year for me, as I look forward to an inauguration ceremony for myself and three of my City Council colleagues at10 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 3, at the Orpheum Theatre, 203 W. Adams St. in downtown Phoenix.
And as we celebrate this New Year, we are looking forward to a promising future of working with the community to make northeast Phoenix an even better place to live, work and play.
We are lucky to live in a unique area, which blends desert beauty and open spaces with progressive, exciting developments that are setting national standards. My office will continue working to balance our developments in housing, retail and restaurants with the need to maintain the atmosphere that drew so many people here in the first place.
To meet these goals and many others, here are some of our plans for 2006:
I am so excited to see so many District 2 residents at our community open houses and monthly Issues and Info breakfasts. I hope you can attend one in 2006 to let us know how you feel about the direction of our community. You can always contact my office about any issue impacting your family or neighborhood.
These ideas are not just New Year’s resolutions; they are our promises to help enhance our neighborhoods and our treasured quality of life.
From the whole District 2 office, we wish you a happy and healthy 2006.
