Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton

If you've spent any time in downtown Phoenix over the last few years, you have probably passed empty lots being developed and old buildings getting new life.

Things look a lot different today. New construction and redevelopment have changed both the city’s skyline and, to an extent, its vibe.

Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton will be taking the stage Saturday night at the Crescent Ballroom to talk about downtown’s transformation.
