Downtown Marana? Officials look at creating business area along Sandario and I-10
By Brian J. Pedersen
A 5-square-mile area straddling I-10 could soon be designated as Marana's official down-town, based on a plan in the works by town officials. Marana planning director Kevin Kish gave a presentation to the Marana Town Council March 25 on the prospect of creating what is being called the Single Central Business District. The district would be an expansion of the town's Main Street concept that would take in both existing business areas and land the town would like to see be centered on commerce, Kish said.
The area being considered stretches from north of West Marana Road down to south of West Tangerine Road, extending both east and west of I-10 to take in the Marana Municipal Complex, the soon-to-be relocated Marana Health Center and other areas that are planned for commercial or professional use. The proposed area also includes the north end of North Sandario Road, which is considered Marana's unofficial business district.
