| City of Phoenix Holds Community Meeting For Future Fire Station 74 | https://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/fire/2945 | Fire | | 12/1/2023 8:30:00 PM | https://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2945/Newsroom_FIre_Fix.jpg | | City of Phoenix Holds Community Meeting For Future Fire Station 74 | <div class="ExternalClassF88F974BC06A457EBC50904AB6ED2ADD"><html>
<p>On Thursday, November 30th the City of Phoenix held a community meeting at Pecos Community Center focused on the plans for future Phoenix Fire Station 74. This will be the fourth fire station addition to Ahwatukee. This will complete the firefighting force for the growing community and greatly reduce response times by crews.<br><br>Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, District 6 Phoenix City Councilman Kevin Robinson, and District 1 Phoenix City Councilwoman and Public Safety and Justice Chair Ann O'Brien were in attendance of the community meeting. Members of the Phoenix Fire Department's Executive Staff and the City of Phoenix's Parks and Recreation Department joined Pearlman Architects to discuss the future fire station. <br><br>The meeting focused on sharing conceptual <a href="https://perlman.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/stream.aspx?id=/Graphics/2023%20Graphics%20Projects/323009%20-%20Phoenix%2074/Public%20Mtg%2011302023/Phx%2074%20Fly%20Around.mp4&referrer=StreamWebApp.Web&referrerScenario=AddressBarCopied.view" target="_blank">designs </a>from Pearlman Architects and the relocation of the Buresa Trailhead. Because the City of Phoenix already owns the land through the Parks and Recreation Department, the project will be fast tracked. But not to fear, the trailhead is not closing and not going far! The relocation of the Buresa Trailhead will be moved less than ¼ of a mile to the west.<br><br>Located on the northwest corner of 19th Avenue and Chandler Boulevard, this will allow for both the enjoyment of the beautiful Phoenix trail and the building of a new 13,250 square foot state of the art fire station. <br><br>Built with sustainability in mind, the future Phoenix Fire Station 74 has been designed per the City of Phoenix building design standards and current adopted building codes. It will incorporate environmental design principals similar to LEED to reduce energy consumption and water preservation.<br><br>The station will be single story and include three bays to house a fire engine and medical rescue. It will also include thirteen unisex dorms for firefighters to operate 24/7, 365 days a year. <br><br>When completed, the Ahwatukee community will have a total of four fire stations with four engine companies, one ladder company, three rescue companies. The city will hire and train 24 new Phoenix firefighters to provide staffing for three shifts and the necessary relief rate. The daily staffing will be six people total, including four on the engine and two on the rescue. <br><br></p>
<p>Construction is set for early 2024 with the goal of completing the station by 2025 to begin operations. <br><br></p>

| City of Phoenix Encourages Residents to Participate in Healthy Giving for the Holidays | https://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/homeless-solutions/2939 | Homeless Solutions | | 11/17/2023 6:35:00 PM | | https://youtu.be/GYNm1QII7Zo?si=96EltqV30Vzfli6v | City of Phoenix Encourages Residents to Participate in Healthy Giving for the Holidays | <div class="ExternalClass0704FE506DB547C7996B0D3A85EEF170"><html>
<p>This holiday season, the City of Phoenix is encouraging residents who want to help people experiencing homelessness to participate in Healthy Giving.<br><br>Healthy Giving promotes giving responsibly, by donating time or resources to established non-profit and community organizations that provide services to people in need, instead of giving one-off donations on the street.<br><br>“We have such a generous community in Phoenix, and we know people want to help,” said Rachel Milne, Director of the City of Phoenix Office of Homeless Solutions. “People mean well when they give to someone who is unsheltered, but that often encourages them to stay outdoors and away from services that can help end their homelessness. By working with established service providers, it helps create connections that can change people’s lives.”<br><br>“Healthy Giving is about giving a hand up, not a handout,” said Jerome Parker, Community Pastor, First Christian Church (FCC). “We want to encourage the community to be part of the long-term solutions that have a lasting impact. These nonprofits don’t just connect people to resources; they provide human connections that can lead someone who is unsheltered to feel valued, understood, and worthy of a better life.”<br><br><strong style="text-decoration:underline;">How to Give in a Healthy Way</strong><br><strong>Volunteer</strong>:<br>Volunteer to prepare and serve meals at a licensed community kitchen to encourage safe, in-house dining instead of street feeding.<br><br><strong>Donate</strong>:<br>Provide local food banks with donations of nonperishable food, bottled water and toiletries to help the organization’s efforts.<br><br><strong>Empower</strong>:<br>Make financial contributions to support professional outreach teams trained to work with individuals in crisis on the street.<br><br>Residents can learn more about Healthy Giving and find ways to give back responsibly this holiday season at <a href="https://action.phoenix.gov/c1.pl?59fd74d494002e60fbe6556265251fb6caf5744af073792e1fe45cb1ebc3a513" target="_blank">givesmartaz.org</a>.<br></p>

We are proud to partner with yet another local business and provide handmade, artisan goods to those looking to take a piece of Phoenix home with them.” </div><div> </div><div>The one-of-a-kind shopping experience is a testament to the mission of Aramark’s Aventura Catering, the convention center’s exclusive food, beverage and retail operations provider, and the Phoenix Convention Center to support local businesses and creators. Retail Therapy AZ marks the third locally owned business to open in the Phoenix Convention Center in partnership with Aramark’s Aventura Catering, joining Huss Brewpub and PRESS Coffee. </div><div> </div><div>“The Phoenix Convention Center is at the center of it all in downtown Phoenix, a premier destination for visitors from around the world,” said Danielle Lazor, Vice President, West Region, at Aramark Sports + Entertainment. “The opportunity to partner with Retail Therapy offers a new and unique shopping experience that reflects the city, its artisans, and the community, adding to the existing range of authentic and diverse offerings for guests.”</div><div> </div><div>Retail Therapy AZ co-owners Erica Jerido and Jacqueline Thomas are thrilled to be opening a downtown Phoenix storefront. </div><div> </div><div>“We began our business in 2021 as a mobile clothing boutique, vending at local pop-up events and we found that we weren’t passionate about the clothing, but really we were excited about all the connections we were making with other local businesses,” Jerido said. “We then started coordinating community markets throughout the Valley, but we had the dream that one day we would have a storefront where all the small businesses we loved could have a permanent space to sell their products.” </div><div> <br></div><div>The duo’s storefront dream became a reality after 40 local businesses showed interest in partnering. The Phoenix Convention Center location marks the company’s fourth location and will offer products from 80 local businesses and feature space for classes or team building. </div><div> </div><div>“We are so grateful to be able to have this amazing space at the Phoenix Convention Center,” Jerido said. “We’ve definitely realized throughout our journey that we attract people from out of town who want to take something truly local back from Arizona. The Phoenix Convention Center landed perfectly in that realm, we are excited to be able to reach people from all over the world and offer them unique and custom gifts.” </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div></div><div><br><br></div><br><br><br></html></div> | https://www.phoenix.gov/conventioncenter | News | phoenix-convention-center | PCC | | |
