Tempe Dedication
Represents
Commitment
to Preserving
Open
Space
Tempe,
Ariz. –
The City of Tempe will hold a public dedication of the Eisendrath property,
which includes the family’s historic home, at 4:30 p.m. on May 15, 2002. The
property is located at 1400 N. College Avenue.
Those
wishing to attend the brief ceremony are asked to park at The Arizona Historical
Society Museum, 1300 N. College (immediately south of the Eisendrath property)
and ride a complimentary shuttle to the event.
“This
property is a valuable addition to Papago Park and preserves more than 9 acres
of open space in north Tempe,” Tempe Mayor Neil Giuliano said.
“Additionally, the trade/purchase agreement provides for the development of 18
acres of vacant land along Rio Salado Parkway, near Town Lake.”
The
agreement between the city and the Eisendrath property owners involves a
transfer of 18 acres of city property to the Eisendrath owners. Six acres of the
city property was swapped in exchange for the Eisendrath property and the
Eisendrath owners purchased the remaining 12 acres of the city property.
The city property
transferred was formerly the proposed site for a water reclamation facility and
is located between Priest and Hardy drives, south of Rio Salado Parkway. The
escrow closed on April 1, 2002.
