VI!. PETITIONS AND COMMENTS
Kevin O'Connell, 13601 N. Reyher Ave., Marana: On CDBG funds, Marana Vista
Housing Projects: dislikes the fact that this part of Marana has been referred to as "the
projects", and he would like to change that poor image. An investment in Marana Vista
would be an investment in Marana: road improvements, streetlights.
Keith Grove, 13735 N. Jarvis Ct., Marana: Supports road maintenance in Marana
Vista. Only once a year the street is swept. There are potholes. The roadside is
overgrown with weeds and the street is muddy when it rains. Just because it is a low-
income neighborhood, does not mean its needs should be ignored.
William Blissett, Project Director, Management and Training Corp., Marana
Community Correctional Treatment Facility: August 15 will be the opening date for
the facility. He is has a temporary office located at the back of the Chamber of
Commerce building. His telephone number is 682-2077.
