Chandler links roundup...
A number of links for your consideration:
1. "Even with all the homes that practically surround it and the hikers who climb all over it, South Mountain still is a sacred place to the Pima Indians...'This is the crown, the South Mountains. This is the crown for everything that is happening,' said Sara Bird-In-Ground, who is of Pima ancestry, and who lives on the Gila River Reservation." Very interesting story, here.
2. Ka-ching in Chandler's cash register is deafening. Story, here.
3. "Chandler public works officials say the city needs to spend nearly $68 million on street improvements before mid-2007 and $289 million over the next five years to relieve gridlock on some of the city's major roads." Story here.
4. "Chandler's downtown look continues to evolve, and now a prominent developer has made a new investment in the area.
Tom Bliss of Chandler City Center Developers this week acquired 95 W. Boston St., a 2,800-square-foot retail space immediately west of Saba's Western Wear that currently includes the Mesquite Furniture Store." Story here.
5. "Chandler is among several Valley cities challenging the results of a mid-decade census worth millions in state-shared revenue for fast-growing municipalities.
According to an appeal filed by Mayor Boyd Dunn with the U.S. Census Bureau, the 2005 count of 224,182 is well below the city's estimate of 238,426." Story here.
6. "Last month, [Barbara Knox] argued with councilmen Martin Sepulveda and Lowell Huggins about a city survey of alleyway garbage pickup.
Knox, who came to Chandler in 1947, is among eight Chandler women being recognized today at the Chandler Historical Society's 22nd annual pioneer luncheon at the Crowne Plaza San Marcos Golf Resort. The awards for pioneers of the year will be announced at the event." Story here.
