TUCSON POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS TO COMPETE IN CHARITY SOCCER MATCH - The Tucson Fire Department (TFD) and the Tucson Police Department (TPD) are set to go head-to-head, with bragging rights on the line, as FC Tucson hosts the second annual Hero Cup, presented by CORE Construction. The match will be held Saturday, Oct. 1, from 1-4 p.m., at Kino North Grandstand at the Kino North Sports Complex, on Ajo Way and Country Club Road (near the Sam Lena Recreation area). The event is free to the public, with donations going to support Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation of Southern Arizona. CORE Construction donated $2,500 to match individual donations for the game. In last year’s inaugural Hero Cup, DM United – representing Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson – defeated TPD, 7-6, after eight rounds of penalty kicks following a 0-0 draw in regulation play.

ATTEND A PUBLIC MEETING TO LEARN ABOUT POTENTIAL UPDATES TO THE DOWNTOWN INFILL INCENTIVE DISTRICT - The City of Tucson's Planning and Development Services Department (PDSD) is currently working on updates to the City's Downtown Infill Incentive District (IID), a zoning option for Downtown Tucson. This zoning option is a valuable tool to promote infill development and has helped bring more than 1,000 new housing units and new jobs and businesses downtown and along the streetcar route. Potential updates to the IID would make it easier to use the overlay to build housing and create an incentive for affordable housing. Join a virtual or in-person public meeting in October to learn about and provide feedback on potential updates to the IID. Read the news release linked below for dates, times, and more information.
