- Community Action Program Assistance comes to New River.
In time or crisis or unusual stress people often need to reach out for immediate help. Happily, the Foundation for Senior Living has partnered with area communities to administer appropriate help with personal care and encouragement.
Community Action Programs provide emergency assistance, referrals, short-term case management, and education services for the communities of Peoria and Wickenburg and is now adding the New River area to the list. Previously all clients from the New River area had to drive to Peoria for this service, but now they will be at the New River Kiwanis building, 48606 N 17th Ave, once a month to make it easier to apply for these programs.
ANYONE income eligible (you do not have to be a senior) will be able to set up an appointment for assistance with utility discount programs, utility deposits, utility payment assistance, move in rental assistance, eviction prevention, mortgage foreclosure assistance, telephone assistance, emergency food and clothing, and other programs.

7th Street Roadway & Drainage Improvement Project
Carefree Highway to Desert Hills Drive Beginning early next month (August 2010), Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) will start construction on the
three-mile segment of 7th Street between Carefree Highway and Desert Hills Drive. This project will widen the existing two-lane
roadway by adding a continuous left- turn lane throughout the project corridor, provide additional roadway drainage improvements

underway in advance preparation for roadway improvements.

New River
Road “S-curve” west of Figs Springs Road. Do you oppose MCDOT’s Preferred Alternative (as presented June 25, 2009) for the
New River Road “S-curve” west of Figs Springs Road? It would not be compatible with
the character of the area and it would only increase the chances of people
speeding. Having two roads (the one we have now and the new one), also makes no
sense. If there needs to be any change, we prefer Alternate 1 (the blue on the
exhibits) just flattens the curves a minimal amount.
Click here for MCDOT's Exhibits. Please support the
NR/DHCA position; send emails to Roberta Crowe at
RobertaCrowe@mail.maricopa.gov.
