New Home Construction Especially with Adair Homes of Arizona leasing space in the Northwest side of Tucson. Arizona has one of the greatest shortages in housing next to California and Florida according to the Up for Growth National Coalition.

Tucson is seeing a housing shortage. With Adair on board and their approach to building quality homes on nearly all budgets should help those seeking new home construction more affordable. 2019 in Tucson is looking up!

Interstate 11 Brief History

December 30 2018 Cindy Espinoza General

Where will Interstate 11 Go_! During the summer of 2014, both Nevada and Arizona Departments of Transportation had completed their 2-year Interstate 11 (I-11) West Corridor Study. The recent transportation authorization bill, Moving ahead of Progress in the 21st Century Map- or (MAP-21) recognized the importance of the Corridor between Phoenix and Las Vegas and designated it as the future I-11. The study was detailed. It included planning options for linking Las Vegas and Phoenix. Even extending the corridor south to Mexico and north to Canada.

There are many obstacles to overcome still. There are environmental studies to be completed. Much opposition from residents remains for the Tucson sector west of the Tucson Mountains.
