There is a nice feature in today’s Arizona Republic<\/i> about John F. Long’s plans for the SR-101 corridor<\/a>:<\/p>\n

More than a half century ago, John F. Long began building the first of tens of thousands of ranch-style homes that would become west Phoenix’s Maryvale community.<\/p>\n

Later, he would shift his focus to developing retail centers, providing residents with such commercial outlets as grocery stores, banks and pharmacies.<\/p>\n

Now 86, the longtime Valley philanthropist and developer is turning to his three grown children to help him realize his latest vision: the Algod?n Center, a 1,000-acre business and medical office park expected to bring thousands of jobs to the West Valley.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Long owns or controls a lot<\/i> of that land. The shoe dropped in the paper today because the Cardinal’s football stadium opened Saturday. Long is ready to make his move, now that the land has substantially increased in value.<\/p>\n
