Livable Communities Coalition
Where We Work Southwest Sun Corridor Legacy Livable Communities Coalition
The Sun Corridor Legacy Program in Arizona is partnering with a consortium of organizations and has formed the Livable Communities Coalition. The group is comprised of various nonprofits, state, and local entities that are committed to helping Arizonans create vibrant, livable communities. Whether it's advocating for transit oriented development, thoughtful connectivity including robust biking and walking routes, or ensuring that open space is preserved, this group is dedicated to providing collaborative opportunities to augment the western way of life. Currently, the Livable Communities Coalition meets the third Thursday of each month. For location and time please contact Paula Randolph at (602) 393-4310 x 307 or
