It’s not a secret that the slump in the economy has turned some of our neighborhoods in Queen Creek to virtual ghost towns. Many homes are being foreclosed upon and many others have had their owners just walk away. With this desertion has come weeds, trash, green pools and countless other issues.
But in Queen Creek, neighborhood leaders are banding together to find the best solutions to their common problems.
Queen Creek resident Chris Clark has been working with town leaders to create a Neighborhood Summit for HOA board members and others in the community to discuss vandalism, landscaping problems and other issues that arise with the increasing number of empty homes.
The Neighborhood Summit is from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at Queen Creek Town Hall, 22350 S. Ellsworth Road. All residents in Queen Creek and the nearby Santan area are invited.
The day will include a talk from the Maricopa County Sherrif’s office on how to keep the neighborhoods safe and attractive via Neighborhood Watch programs. Other speakers that are expected will be experts from the Leadership Centre, a public-private partnership based in the East Valley that helps develop strong communities and community leaders, are expected to give advice.
