Reader question:
What is the plan for the Alewine property on Riverside Drive? Is it going to be turned into something?
Parker Live spoke with Jimmy Alewine this morning, asking him this common question. The property, which was razed after a series of fires, is on a prominent stretch of the main drag in Parker, AZ and so it’s not surprising people have an interest in it.
The property takes up 11 city lots in total, most of which are zoned for either industrial or commercial. The Riverside Drive lots are commercial, as well as those opposite Western Park on Desert Avenue. A developer could apply to rezone other lots if need be.
The property is currently for sale for $1.1 million and, contrary to reports, has not been sold already.
This raises the question: what kind of development would suit this property best? What kind of developer could get the most out of it?
If you have an opinion on this, leave a comment below. I’ll get it started.
I would like to see like a chuck e cheese or Peter piper pizza family restaurant
A Bowling Center would be nice, also, with Chuck e Cheese!!!!
skating rink ,bowling alley , something for the family of all ages exspecially teens . deffenatly no bars or lil shops or car lots
I haven’t lived in Parker for quite some time – but my vote Is with Stephanie Pilkington- what Parker DOESN’T need is another bar!
We need a good commercial development with a solid tax base for the town. A strip mall or mini mall would not generate the revenues. Parker is in dire need of an income producing source.
A Bowling alley or skating rink might keep the teenagers from going out on Shea Road to party. A Sizzler would be great or a new larger Bashas (like the one in Havasu)
Perhaps this is a good question to ask at Meet the Candidate events coming up.
Good points Terry we should ask the new board what their ideas may be. Your right we need something to keep our youth off the bad side of things.
A Sonic or a Sizzler or both.
