Scottsdale Mayor Lisa Borowsky is offering her strong support for a series of initiatives aimed at revitalizing Old Town Scottsdale, including the hiring of an Old Town Scottsdale specialist and a significant $40 million investment into the area.
These efforts underscore Mayor Borowsky’s commitment to enhancing the vibrancy and prosperity of this historic district.
“Old Town Scottsdale is the heart and soul of our city, and its success is paramount to our collective future,” Mayor Borowsky said. “By investing in a dedicated ambassador and committing substantial resources, we are reaffirming our dedication to creating an even more welcoming, dynamic and prosperous environment for residents, businesses and visitors alike.”
In a proactive move to foster direct communication and collaboration, Mayor Borowsky has also launched a personal outreach campaign, sending letters directly to business owners and merchants throughout Old Town. These letters encourage proprietors to share their insights and concerns directly with the Scottsdale Mayor’s Office, ensuring that city services and future improvements are directly responsive to the needs of the community.
“I want every business owner to know: your voice matters,” Mayor Borowsky added. “Let’s work together to shape a future for Old Town that honors its past and embraces its potential.”
The proposed $40 million investment will fund a variety of projects, including infrastructure upgrades, aesthetic enhancements, and programs designed to boost economic activity and cultural experiences within Old Town.
The Old Town Scottsdale specialist will serve as a direct liaison between businesses, residents, and the city, streamlining communication and ensuring a unified approach to the district’s development.
“My door, and the door of my office, is always open to the voices of our residents, proprietors and merchants,” Mayor Borowsky points out. “Their invaluable input will guide our decisions and ensure that these revitalization efforts truly reflect the unique character and aspirations of Old Town. Together, we can make Old Town Scottsdale an even brighter gem for our city.”
Mayor Borowsky encourages all Old Town business owners and merchants to engage with her office and participate in this vital initiative.
“As mayor, I am committed to ensuring Old Town remains a place where businesses flourish, residents feel proud, and visitors experience the best of Scottsdale,” said Mayor Lisa Borowsky. “This investment is not just about infrastructure—it’s about investing in the people and spirit of our city.”
