CAVE
CREEK – After more than 20 years sitting idle,
the Phoenix Mine site is on its way to development.
The first of three public meetings for the Phoenix
Mine Site Redevelopment Planning is set for 7
p.m. July 19 at council chambers.
The
38‑acre site has remained undeveloped since
mining operations stopped in 1985. The site could
provide Cave Creek with a gateway to the 2,154‑acre
Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area.
The
first public meeting will focus on an exchange
of information with the public to identify Creekers’
vision for the future of the site. The town will
then hold two additional public meetings in conjunction
with the development of the Site Master Plan.
The second meeting is planned for Sept. 20.
