Rio Salado Beyond the Banks

Vision Statement

The Rio Salado Beyond the Banks is a revitalized area that is realizing its full potential from its proximity to the Rio Salado, Downtown Phoenix, Sky Harbor International Airport, other job centers, and regional transportation linkages. The area:

• connects to the restored Rio Salado as an attractive recreational and environmental amenity;
• provides an attractive mix of land uses abutting the Rio Salado;
• builds on existing neighborhoods, area history, and cultural identity;
• provides infill housing to support seven city employment centers;
• employs a growing and increasingly skilled workforce; and
• creates a vibrant place that attracts area residents and visitors to a wide variety of recreational, environmental, and commercial activities
