Business Briefcase ByConnorDziawura
IN THE BIZ
Hello, everyone. Welcome back to Business Briefcase. This week I have a nice roundup of information for readers. I begin with select updates to West Valley businesses, developments and practices. I will then roll on to a few events to help get local businesspeople involved in their community. So, here’s the news! First, Murphy Orthodontics’ Goodyear office has relocated to a new facility at 14553 W. Indian School Road, Suite 100, at the southeast corner of North Bullard Avenue and West Indian School Road. It sits adjacent to other West Valley businesses, such as the Kumon Math and Reading Center and Palm Valley Pediatric Dentistry. The office, which is headed up by Dr. Chris Murphy, is already open, and will continue the former location’s goal of giving patients a “relaxing, comfortable environment” with stateof-the-art elements. Whether you need a treatment like Invisalign or have more severe bite or teeth issues and need braces, adults and children are welcome at the new West Valley location. Murphy Orthodontics also has a Phoenix practice. For more information on these practices and their vast array of available treatments, visit
murphyorthodontics.com. Next, Goodyear City Council approved a preliminary plat for City Center Airpark at a regular meeting February 26. The approval will allow the subdivision of 351.1 acres into five parcels, which will be located along Bullard Avenue and south of Yuma Road, though it is subject to stipulations. Situated within the City Center Airpark Planned Area Development, and snugly between Goodyear Ballpark and Phoenix Goodyear Airport, the area is applicable for commercial uses such as research and development, manufacturing, warehouse and employment. Although I am limited on information as of yet, I’ll keep you all posted as I continue to push for more updates on this plat approval and future development. Then, some happy news! UPS announced two Goodyear elite drivers were inducted into the Circle of Honor. The two Goodyear drivers, Jesse Rudd and Robert Joyner, are among 1,582 recently inducted worldwide, and only 23 in Arizona. The Circle of Honor is an organization dedicated to honoring drivers with at least 25 years of accident-free driving. “My thanks go to all of them for their dedication and focus and for the (USPS 004-616) is published weekly

It’s getting hot in the West Valley ByJohnSafin Are you ready for the start of all the excitement? OK, that might be a little misleading, because there’s always something exciting happening in the Southwest Valley. Right now, I’m talking about the month of March and the beginning of the special time of year in our community. Let’s start with sports. Spring Training with Major League Baseball’s Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Indians. We also have ISM Raceway (formerly known as PIR) with NASCAR and Indy Car racing. Nearly 200,000 race fans travel here for the two weekends of racing. The only place in the world to find both is the Southwest Valley. How about some hometown flavor and flair? There is always something happening. The four Southwest Valley cities – Avondale, Goodyear, Litchfield Park and Tolleson – offer dozens of festivals, fairs, concerts, movies and other events throughout the year, including the summer months. It doesn’t matter if you’re a family of one, a family of 100, a couple, going on a first date or your 50th date, all the events are a great time for everyone. A bonus for this month: Luke Days. The biannual air show at Luke Air Force Base is Saturday, March 17, and Sunday, March 18. This year’s theme, The Future of Airpower, will give you a chance to see today’s military aircraft up close and personal. There will be
air performances by the Blue Angels, Heritage Flight, A-10 demo, Wings of Blue parachute team, and much more. Again, only in the Southwest Valley can you find all this! Let’s talk about heat. The temperature is climbing and summer will soon be here. We live is a desert and it does get hot. Talking about the heat is OK. Whining about the high temperatures, especially the TV weather people, can stop, please. Summer also means it’s a great time for you, your family, friends and John Safin, president and CEO of Southwest Valley Chamber of everyone else to enjoy Commerce. (Photo courtesy Southwest Valley Chamber.) all that is right here in our own community. There’s always something happening in Valley. There are thousands of things to do and to see. The most important and the Southwest Valley. Staycations are still popular.
