The Tempe Union High School District on June 11 finally received some good news about the beleaguered Corona del Sol High School. The district was informed that the Arizona Department of Health Services had been authorized by Gov. Janet Napolitano to work with an environmental contractor to do independent environmental testing at Corona.
In these economic times, Tempe continues to thrive. Onyx Tower is one of five Tempe projects that have passed major milestones in this market in just the last few months.
The 26-story luxury condominium tower on Tempe Town Lake opened its sales office on May 22, across the street from where the Onyx project is being constructed.
Currently planned as the tallest building on the lake, Onyx Tower is situated on the north shore of Tempe Town Lake. The one- to three-bedroom floor plans range from 711 square feet to 2,364 square feet; prices start in the low $300,000s and range to more than over $2 million for the penthouse units.
Clark Park renovations needed to keep ’50s neighborhood vital
By Joan Westlake
Tucked away just north of Broadway and west of Mill Avenue, Clark Park was a jewel in a vibrant community when it debuted in the 1970s. Now neighbors are working to restore the aging park and pool, which they say has become run down and a campground for transients.
Lisa Roach, co-chair of the Clark Park Neighborhood Association, says, “My husband [Shawn] grew up here. He has wonderful memories and stories. We just honored 22 families who have been here since the mid-50s to early ’60s. We are trying to maintain this wonderful neighborhood and one way to attract young families is to have a safe, clean and beautiful park.”
