Construction Begins on Full-Scale Desert Diamond West Valley Casino

GLENDALE, Ariz., Dec. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — More than eight years after the project was first announced, the Tohono O’odham Gaming Enterprise (TOGE) broke ground today on the permanent, full-scale home for its Desert Diamond West Valley Casino. The new facility will feature a 75,000 square-foot casino floor with Class III slot machines, poker and blackjack tables, and live bingo, as well as five restaurants. Construction of the $400 million project will last an estimated 24 months. Rendering of the full-scale Desert Diamond West Valley Casino Rendering of the full-scale Desert Diamond West Valley Casino Construction of the project is being headed by the Hunt/Penta Joint Venture as general contractor and will create over 1,500 construction jobs. Once complete, the full-scale casino will employ approximately 1,600 people. The facility is located on 54 acres of reservation land near the cities of Glendale and Peoria, Ariz. The full-scale casino will complement the region’s vibrant sports and entertainment attractions, including Glendale’s Westgate Entertainment District and Peoria’s P83 Entertainment District. The Tohono O’odham Nation first announced the major casino project on Jan. 29, 2009. The casino project faced significant challenges from special interests in court and in multiple attempts to move federal legislation to halt the project. All of these challenges failed and an interim casino opened to huge crowds on Dec. 20, 2015. It currently employs nearly 600 people. The interim casino will continue operating during construction and then transition to use as a warehouse after the full-scale casino opens. Edward Manuel, Chairman of the Tohono O’odham Nation said, “This facility will provide jobs and economic opportunity for members of the Tohono O’odham Nation, the West Valley, and Arizona. The Nation is proud of the partnerships we have forged in the region, which will only strengthen and grow as we move forward.” Andy Asselin, CEO of the Tohono O’odham Gaming Enterprise said, “This is a day our guests and employees have been looking forward to for a long time. We’ve put together a terrific construction team that will be developing a unique attraction for the entire West Valley. We’re eager to get started.” TOGE is also planning future phases of construction once the permanent casino is complete, including a hotel, spa and other resort amenities. Once fully built out, the resort and casino will occupy over one million square-feet and create more than 3,000 jobs. Desert Diamond Casinos & Entertainment, with three locations in Southern Arizona (Tucson, Sahuarita, and Why) and one in the West Valley, is owned and operated by the Tohono O’odham Gaming Enterprise, an enterprise of the Tohono O’odham Nation.

Phoenix Public Library Opens Temporary Library Services at Park Central Mall

Thu Nov 02 2017 19:55:00 GMT-0400 (EDT) Phoenix Public Library and the new owners of Park Central Mall are pleased to announce that temporary library services will soon be available to the public in an almost 30,000 square foot space at central Phoenix’s iconic Park Central Mall. “This temporary location at Park Central is a welcome addition for our residents as our centerpiece library Burton Barr undergoes repairs,” said Mayor Greg Stanton. “As the new Park Central location will quickly show, our Phoenix Public Libraries are much more than libraries. They are vital and bustling gathering places where young people, entrepreneurs and job seekers can get mentoring and tools to succeed.” Located along the light rail and approximately 2 miles from the temporarily closed Burton Barr Central Library, “Phoenix Public Library @ Park Central” will be an ideal location in which residents in central Phoenix will be able to access the basic library services they rely upon. With initial plans to be open seven days a week, families will be able to attend early literacy programming such as Storytimes, teens will be able to gather after school for homework help and coding programs, those relying upon the library for access to a computer and the internet will be able to access the internet — all of this in addition to a range of library materials (books, CDs, magazines, DVDs, etc.) for all ages available for check out. The bulk of Park Central Mall was recently purchased by a partnership between Plaza Companies and Holualoa Companies, who have announced plans to revitalize the landmark central Phoenix property. Sharon Harper, President & CEO of Plaza Companies, said the goal of the revitalization will be to make Park Central the heart of midtown once again — and hosting the library is a great way to start. “We are very pleased to be able to provide space at Park Central for the use of the Phoenix Public Library and the people of our community,” Harper said. “Our goal for Park Central is to make it an exceptional place for our community once again, and this is a step in that direction.” Harper said that patrons will be able to easily access the library space, located below the former Goldwater’s store, while the renovation of the property takes place in the coming months. “This temporary relocation of the Burton Barr Central Library at Park Central can affectionately be referred to as a ‘pop up’ library,” said Vice Mayor Laura Pastor. “It will allow for the uninterrupted provision of much-needed programs and services in the central core that citizens have come to rely upon and expect. The continued availability of library resources for the public until Burton Barr reopens next year is of vital importance.” For more information, call 602-262-4636 or visit phoenixpubliclibrary.org.

Professionals with the longest commutes aren’t necessarily the most anxious. When asked about their stress levels stemming from commute, here is how U.S. commuters ranked their cities, from most to least stressful: Can Employers Lessen Commute Headaches? Commute times rank as a top concern among employees when considering a job offer, according to feedback gathered from Robert Half’s recruiters. “Good managers keep a constant gauge on team morale. You should continually talk to employees about their commutes to identify pain points and possible workarounds,” said Josh Howarth, district president for Robert Half. “Every organization is different, and no single magic bullet can solve all commuting problems.” Howarth recommends having these conversations sooner rather than later: “Winter weather and the end of daylight savings time often result in longer commutes. Get plans in place now to offer flexible options before workers feel the full impact.” If you’re an employer concerned that a lengthy commute could be hurting retention efforts or scaring away potential candidates, consider the following solutions: Survey your employee base. Talk to your workers individually or conduct surveys to gauge how much their commutes might be impacting their workday. Research surrounding firms and companies in your industry to see how they handle commuting issues. Offer staggered work schedules. Give employees the option to work during hours when the traffic isn’t heavy. Staggered schedules can also provide the benefit of longer coverage. Consider telecommuting options. Many companies allow employees to work remotely on occasion. If workers’ responsibilities allow, consider allowing telecommuting several days a week. Increase commuting benefits. If you are already offering commuting benefits, find out how much they are being used. Once you know which are being most utilized, you can make educated decisions to enhance or modify them. If you don’t offer these benefits, consider adding some, like subsidized public transportation or company-sponsored carpooling.
