Community Input2003 Rio Salado Beyond the Banks Area Plan

The purpose of the Rio Salado Beyond the Banks Area Plan is to protect the investment in the Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Project and to maximize the long-term benefits to the community while increasing the potential value of the properties adjacent to the river.

2012 Del Rio Area Brownfields PlanIn 2012, the City released the Del Rio Area Brownfields Plan to guide redevelopment of brownfields within the Del Rio Area, including the Site. The Plan identifies a vision for future development as well as shared values and design concepts. The Plan was formally adopted into the 2015 Phoenix General Plan.
