Tell Ald Curtis you support new housing & community-driven development at Ford City Mall site
Ford City Mall’s redevelopment in the 18th Ward is an exciting opportunity to create something our community truly needs, not just for Ford City but for all nearby neighborhoods. Instead of an industrial park, imagine this site transformed with new parks, community centers, affordable housing, and small business hubs. These projects would not only strengthen the 18th Ward but also bring lasting benefits to surrounding areas.
With schools, parks, and homes nearby, thoughtful development can enhance safety, accessibility, and amenities while preserving our neighborhood’s charm. Smart, community-focused projects can boost the local economy and provide spaces for residents to thrive.
Write to Alderman Derrick Curtis (18th Ward) to support redevelopment that prioritizes people over industry. Let’s seize this opportunity to create a vibrant, sustainable future for Ford City and Scottsdale for generations to come.
