Dear Sahuaro District Residents,
This week I recognize our Glendale law enforcement officers for their dedication to improving the quality of life in our City. January 9
th was National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. If you have not already done so, reach out to law enforcement officers and thank them for their service and let them know you understand the difficulty of their work and appreciate their sacrifice and risk.
Congratulation are also in order for our Fire Department. Next Tuesday, January 14
th,
during the Coyotes hockey game, our Fire Department will be recognized and presented a check by Blue Cross Blue Shield for the department's Behavioral Health Counseling, Resiliency Training and Peer Team Program. A Glendale Firefighter will also start the game by singing the National Anthem.
In other news, the City Council strategy to bring jobs to the West Valley is flourishing. White Claw Brewing Corporation will be building a 916,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility south of the previously announced Red Bull Facility located at Reems Road and Olive. The facility will provide over 200 good paying jobs and bring over $250 million in capital investment into the area. This growth in western Glendale has become an economic catalyst for the area and many more announcements will be forthcoming.
The City Council strategy for western Glendale is to maximize job creation while minimizing immediate public funding. Projects in western Glendale will bring in additional revenues for the City, while major sewer, water and street infrastructure will be paid for by the developers. As these areas build out, they will provide ongoing tax revenues that can be used for Police, Fire, and other City services that will be needed to expand in future years. Even though there is a lot of economic development happening in the far western boundaries of the City, the Council strategy also includes attracting new revenue producing opportunities throughout the City to help support and improve current City services.
Have a nice weekend!

Sgt. Wade, who has been with the Glendale Police Department for 20 years, is a 2019 Arizona Medal of Valor honoree for his extraordinary act of valor, courage and heroism. He will be recognized at an award ceremony in 2020 by Governor Doug Ducey.
On January 4, 2019, Sgt. Wade saved an elderly man from a burning motor home. He used a ladder to climb up to a window, and with the help of a neighbor, pulled the man from the home, ultimately saving his life. Congratulations Sgt. Wade for your heroism and outstanding service to the residents of Glendale!
