<p>"Yesterday was a wonderful day for our great state and the City of Phoenix. We celebrated the impending opening of the new Loop 202 segment. After two years of construction, the freeway is expected to open before the new year. The new segment is the largest freeway project ever in Arizona and has saved the state over $100 million dollars. It also embodies the spirit of our great state, with four southwest designs along different parts of the freeway.<br><br>I want to thank our residents and businesses in the Laveen and Estrella neighborhoods, who have been waiting 30 years for this freeway to be built. They have tirelessly advocated for and organized their neighbors to help get the state of Arizona moving on building the freeway.<br>The process of building this segment was a true example of the 'Team Phoenix' approach, where the city, county and state partnered with the private sector and was able to finish the freeway three years ahead of schedule.<br><br>The new segment of the Loop 202 will be a magnet to economic development, jobs and housing for the City of Phoenix, and I am proud to be a part of this."<br></p>

<p>"Today, after a nearly two-decade long process, my colleagues and I voted on moving the Latino Cultural Center forward. This is a project that I have personally championed since I was elected 11 years ago. It has been a long journey, but it gives me great pride to get where we are today. To have a center that will highlight the cultural contributions of Latinos in Arizona and Phoenix is truly a win for all residents.<br><br>I want to thank former Mayor Williams, Mayor Gallego and the Council for their support in moving the Latino Cultural Center forward. Today's unanimous vote was a true example of the “Team Phoenix" approach, and I am looking forward to the next steps in building what will be a community staple."<br><br>Councilman Michael Nowakowski is the Co-Chair of the Latino Cultural Center Ad Hoc Committee.<br></p>

| Councilman Michael Nowakowski Reminds Residents to Give Smart This Holiday Season | https://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/district-7/822 | | City Council District 7 | 11/27/2019 5:00:00 PM | https://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/822/Newsroom_Council_Statement_07.jpg | | Councilman Michael Nowakowski Reminds Residents to Give Smart This Holiday Season | <div class="ExternalClass3BF362FD7F6E425ABBAD5E0C697B30CB"><html>
<p>“As we approach the holidays, the spirit of giving is evident throughout the city. I truly believe it is important to not only help the less fortunate, but to give in ways that promote healthy and sustainable giving.</p>
<p>Street giving is a term that is used to describe those that give food, money, and items directly to people experiencing homelessness out on the street. Although kind, it is not necessarily beneficial and can have a negative impact on our community, non-profit agencies and the un-sheltered individuals we are trying to assist. Last year alone, 8.25 tons of garbage was collected from the streets of downtown Phoenix after the Thanksgiving holiday. </p>
<p>Healthy giving is a way to give back that has meaning and impact beyond one meal. Healthy giving considers the long-term impact for individuals, the environment, and the community at large. I want to thank the Healthy Giving Council, City staff and all the volunteers that will be helping give smart over this Thanksgiving weekend. Together, with the Team Phoenix approach, we can make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate."</p><p><img src="/district7site/MediaAssets/HealthyGivingBanner.png" alt="Healthy Giving Banner" style="margin:5px;width:502px;" /><br></p>
