A HUGE thank-you to all the supporters and neighbors who came to the House Government Committee hearing today to support HB2375. From Phoenix to Flagstaff to Tempe, the Historic Preservation community was powerfully represented — but the bill was pulled from the agenda for today…
Rep. Matt Gress held the bill so adjustments can be made to secure more votes. While it wasn’t heard today, this was a strategic move to set the bill up for success. HB2375 could be back on the agenda as early as next week.
