Towering over Downtown Phoenix are 15 construction projects with 14 cranes poking into the sky so far. It's a new record for America's fastest-growing city with its fast-growing Downtown.
Phoenix Community and Economic Development Director Christine Mackay knows every one. She's counted them twice. Once after climbing 172 feet into the cab of a construction crane at Wexford Science+Technology 850 building, and a week later in a helicopter circling Downtown Phoenix.
Mackay's enthusiasm for the changes in Downtown Phoenix are one part of a long list of what's being built across the city of Phoenix. Interviewed by PhxTV11 reporter Deborah Sedillo Dugan, Mackay counts down the what, why and who of Phoenix development.
