Naranja Park Bond will go to the voters in November On November 7, 2017, Oro Valley voters will decide whether or not to authorize the issuance and sale of $17 million in general obligation bonds to fund the design, construction, improvement, furnishing and equipping of multi-sport fields, baseball diamond fields, a playground and associated infrastructure and amenities at Naranja Park, 810 W. Naranja Drive. The bonds would be repaid through a secondary property tax, which sunsets after 20 years. To ensure that Oro Valley homeowners and commercial property owners know what’s included in the plan and how they will be impacted by the bond issuance, the Town of Oro Valley has created the Naranja Park Bond web page, making it easier to find all information in one place, including a project overview sheet, list of related press releases, articles, maps and cost details. To access the page, visit www.orovalleyaz.gov and click on the large Naranja Park Bond banner at the top, or the smaller Naranja Park Bond carousel image underneath. You can also type “Naranja Park Bond” into the search bar.

Shop OV: Jersey Mike’s Subs By Dave Perry, President/CEO of the Greater Oro Valley Chamber of Commerce At Jersey Mike’s Subs, you can get an East Coast-style sandwich, made to order with fresh meats, cheeses and produce on freshly baked bread, all topped with…The Juice. That’s what Jersey Mike’s calls the red wine vinegar and olive oil mixture used to dress each sandwich. “We like to think of it as a mouth explosion,” says Bob Gregory, franchisee of the Oro Valley store with his sister, Rosey, and Eddy Matten. Bob has a hard time picking his favorite sandwich. He’s a fan of #13, the Original Italian. On the hot side, #17, the Philly Cheesesteak, always satisfies.
10592 North Oracle, #150 Oro Valley, AZ, 85737 10 a.m.-9 p.m. 7 days a week www.jerseymikes.com/9033 520-447-5182
The work satisfies Bob, a career franchisee who’s been with Jersey Mike’s for three years. This is “the most rewarding time of my career,” because of the “Jersey Mike’s way of trying to make a difference in communities.” Since it opened last December, Jersey Mike’s has raised money for Canyon del Oro and Ironwood Ridge high schools, and children’s services at Tucson Medical Center.
