Community invited to September public…

Aug. 30, 2024

CHANDLER, Ariz. - The City of Chandler is hosting another series of public workshops to take a deeper dive on the new Downtown Region Area Plan and solicit feedback from community stakeholders.

This update will focus on exploring and defining ways the downtown area has changed while looking to the future. This update also will create a community-built vision to guide Chandler with an accurate and holistic approach to downtown's development and growth.

The September workshops titled "Scenarios: Help Shape Chandler's Downtown Region" will be held at the Downtown Chandler Library, 22 S. Delaware St., Copper Room. Staff will provide an overview of the update and attendees can explore different scenarios to help build their ideal downtown community. The September Scenarios workshops will be held on:

• Saturday, Sept. 7 | 10 a.m. to noon
• Tuesday, Sept. 10 | 4:30-6:30 p.m.

Those unable to attend in person will have an opportunity to participate in a virtual workshop instead, which will be available Sept. 7 - 27 at Downtown Region Area Plan Update.

The final outreach meetings are scheduled for Nov. 15 and 16 at the ASU Chandler Innovation Center, 249 E. Chicago St. These November workshops will allow the city to present our findings in a fully immersive 3D Augmented Reality experience, to test our interpretation of the input we have received. This exciting event will allow attendees to explore and envision proposed scenarios for a future Chandler Downtown Region.

In addition, Chandler residents and stakeholders are encouraged to take an online questionnaire to share feedback available Sept. 7-27 at Downtown Region Area Plan Update.

As a reminder, this updated Downtown Region Area Plan will combine two existing area plans: the South Arizona Avenue Plan, adopted in 2006 and amended in 2008; and the updated downtown portion of the Chandler Redevelopment Element, adopted in 1995.
