Paiute Neighborhood Center: Upcoming Projects Community Outreach
The City of Scottsdale is in the early planning stages for two different projects at Paiute Neighborhood Center. The first project has a budget of $11.2 million and will replace aging structures that comprise office space where staff serves the community with a new 22,700 square foot building. This project was approved and funded as part of the 2019 Bond Election. The second project would add 28 affordable housing units to the Paiute Campus. This project currently has no stated budget and would be funded by Maricopa County and City of Scottsdale. Two public information sessions are scheduled for Wednesday, September 6. Both sessions will cover the same information:
9:00AM at the Paiute Neighborhood Center, Building 9, 6535 E Osborn Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85251
5:30PM at the Civic Center Library Auditorium, 3839 N Drinkwater Blvd, Scottsdale, AZ 85251
