You Belong Here: Glendale, Arizona – From Super Bowls to Exploding Development and Growth
This week Robert and JJ’s guests were City of Glendale Arizona’s Mayor Jerry Weiers and Assistant Director of Economic Development, Jessi Pederson. From Mayor Weiers refreshing honesty to Jessi’s knowledgeable insight, we couldn’t have had a better discussion.
The City of Glendale is a vibrant and welcoming metropolitan city with extraordinary opportunities for everyone to prosper, connect, and experience all that is remarkable about this great community.
We began our discussion with the Super Bowl. Glendale, home of the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals, is hosting their third Super Bowl in 2023 after hosting in 2008 and 2015. The Mayor is proud of the continuing development of the Westgate Entertainment District & the space available to double it’s current size. Jessi shared examples of the exploding growth along the Loop 303, Glendale’s New Frontier, with projections to add 80,000,000 square feet of development along this corridor within the next 10 years.
Both of our guests are excited about the planned redevelopment of the city center to include the city hall office building, amphitheater and park, and to continue to the rest of downtown Glendale.
With over 250,000 residents and nearly 2,000 city employees working together to make Glendale the community of choice for those looking to live, work, and play, You Belong Here is a fitting tagline.
Valley residents learn about what goes into hosting Super Bowl 57, the current and planned development along the Loop 303 corridor, & what is happening with the redevelopment of the downtown city center.
