• Action 1.8: Concentrate future investment in industrial and employment centers near existing and emerging hubs, such as the airport; and along existing high-capacity transportation networks, such as Interstate Highway 35.

Future Land Use Plan: The subject property is located within the Oak Creek Sub Area, near existing Civic, Employment, and Market Centers, and near a proposed Market Center.
