First/Campbell Coalition - Your Voice in the Grant Road Project
On May 19, the JPNA Land Use Committee met with Tucson's Office of Integrated Planning (OIP). OIP is an "arm of the city manager" and is tasked with overseeing projects/plans etc.  At the meeting were SAMOS representatives(neighborhood north side of Grant) .  It was agreed to form a coalition to be a voice for the First to Campbell  segment of the  "corridor vision".  OIP has agreed to meet regularly in the process and incorporate neighborhood input.  Meeting dates are being set. Is your vision quick marts and car/title loan strips or buffers and green space?  Now before plans are final, neighbor's voices can make a difference.  
Attend the JPNA meeting Wednesday May 27
