OVCN rezoning meeting, Monday, October 24

You will most certainly want to attend or as a minimum listen to this meeting. As LOVE has covered extensively, it is a request of the Oro Valley Church of the Nazarene ("OVCN") to build a mega sports complex in Oro Valley's oldest, and most natural neighborhood.

"You are invited to attend and participate in a Focus Area neighborhood meeting, either in-person or online, regarding the property owner’s proposed rezoning to Planned Area Development to build new athletic facilities at the Oro Valley Church of the Nazarene located on the northeast corner of the Calle Concordia and Calle Buena Vista intersection (project number: 2002978). 

This meeting is open to the general public and anyone may attend, but the purpose is to provide an opportunity for a focused issue discussion between the immediate neighbors and the applicant. Immediate neighbors may ask questions directly to the applicant and Town staff, share concerns in greater detail and explore potential resolution of issues."

“Rockin’4Heroes”, Sunday,  2PM, at Kreigh Park

Don't forget the "Rockin' for Heroes Event" this Sunday at Kreigh Park. “Rocking 4 Heroes is a community musical event that pays tribute to those who serve our communities and country. It's FREE, but leave the coolers at home and bring some spending money for the fabulous food trucks and beer/wine tent. This event is rain or shine and is sure to be a blast...especially if you like the band, Chicago! Make sure to bring a chair or picnic blanket. 

Gate opens at 1pm with the opening ceremony beginning at 2pm sharp. Overflow parking at CDO (there will be a golf cart to help transport those with mobility issues from the lot to the park). All net proceeds from this event will go toward building the Arizona Heroes Memorial at Naranja Park." (Source: rockin4heroes.org, resident email, Press Release)
