Chandler Mayor announces general plan engagement and praises local educators and healthcare workers

Chandler city officials are gearing up for a significant community engagement initiative as they launch the 2025 General Plan, a mandatory visioning process that occurs every decade. During the City Council meeting on May 8, 2025, Vice Mayor and council members emphasized the importance of resident participation in shaping the future of Chandler. A key event, "Chandler Talks," is scheduled for Saturday, May 10, from 2 to 5 PM at the Chandler Center for the Arts, where residents can provide input on land use and community development. For those unable to attend, an online questionnaire will be available until June, ensuring that all voices can be heard.

In addition to the General Plan discussions, council members highlighted the recent tour of Carvana's new vehicle reconditioning mega site, which spans nearly 100 acres and is expected to create 200 new jobs. This development is seen as a significant boost to the local economy, with the site already employing over 100 workers.

The meeting also included heartfelt acknowledgments for Mother's Day, National Nurses Week, and National EMS Week, with council members expressing gratitude for the contributions of teachers, nurses, and emergency personnel in the community. These recognitions reflect the city's commitment to celebrating and supporting its essential workers.

As the city moves forward with the General Plan and economic development initiatives, officials encourage residents to engage actively in these processes, reinforcing the importance of community input in shaping Chandler's future.
