Empty promises on development in Fountain Hills

Remember when the fence went up downtown along the Avenue of the Fountains between Saguaro Boulevard and the Park Place apartment with the promise that Phase 2 and 3 were “coming soon?” If so, you’ve been here at least three years, because that’s how long it’s been and still there is no progress.  

Since then, the original development agreement between the town and the developer expired. An extension was negotiated and expired. Promises were made, once again, that financing was imminent. The developer sued and settled with the town in Superior Court.

Ultimately, a new development agreement was negotiated, and it too expired, and was extended. Still, construction has not begun.
