Proposed Sites for Chandler Conference Center Revealed

In case you missed it, the Arizona Republic posted an article on a consultant’s recommendations for sites for a Chandler Conference Center. Three of the proposed sites are located in Historic Downtown Chandler or near it and the other three are located near Chandler Fashion Square.

My vote goes to one of the three sites near Historic Downtown Chandler. With the City of Chandler recently expressing the desire for mid-rise condos and office buildings south of Frye Road to the Loop 202, a Convention Center anywhere along this route would be fantastic for the area.

While the report mentions that the spot located on Arizona Avenue and Loop 202 is “least desirable” because a trolley system would need to cart people north to the square downtown – I think it would be an added attraction for the area similar to the trolley system in Old Town Scottsdale.
