Interesting story on the redevelopment momentum downtown. While the sports stadiums being downtown is great momentum for game day activities, the real impact has been focusing on what they call an 18-hour economy.
- There was a mass exodus out of downtown in the 1970s. In fact, we didn’t get back to the population that we had in 1970 until 2016.
- In 2014 the goal was to get 10,000 people to live in Downtown Phoenix by 2030.
- Now, there are 23,500 that live in Downtown Phoenix and we will be at 30,000 by 2030.
