[Source: Lynh Bui, Arizona Republic] — At Mayor Jim Lane’s request, the Scottsdale City Council is expected to consider Tuesday if the city should remain involved with the Discovery Triangle. The Discovery Triangle Development Corporation is a partnership of developers, cities, and businesses aiming to create a regional urban center connecting downtown Phoenix, downtown Tempe, and Scottsdale. “The mayor has heard from members of the council that it is now time to clarify the city of Scottsdale’s relationship with the Discovery Triangle Development Corporation, and to decide whether the city of Scottsdale will be a member at this time,” according to a memo from Lane’s chief of staff sent to the City Council. “The mayor agrees that it is advisable now to remove ambiguity regarding the relationship.”
Plans have called for encouraging technology-, medical-, and science-related businesses within the triangle’s points, anchored at the Arizona State University campuses in Tempe and Phoenix and ASU SkySong in Scottsdale. [Note: To read the full article, click here.]
