Francy’s Cool Website of the Week
I love information. I love maps. I love having access to on-going studies. Information can be the key to success. One of my favorite sites for information is the Maricopa Association of Governments website.
I can spend hours on this site.
Interested in what is happening with the money from the freeway tax? Here is the “2007 Annual Report on the Status of the Implementation of Proposition 400”.
Would you like to know what has been recommended for the CanaMex trade route through Maricopa County, AZ?
How about the development studies for the Hassayampa Valley (the area north of I-10, west of the White Tank Mountains, and south of Wickenburg). Including recommendations for future freeways?
The Maricopa Association of Governments does a lot of long range planning for issues that cross city, town, and county boundaries. This includes transportation, air quality, water quality, regional development, and human services. Keep in mind that many of the items found on this site are *recommended* and may never be implemented. But it’s really cool to know what could be.
