PRESS COFFEE OPENS FLAGSHIP ROASTERY PRESS COFFEE COMPANY OPENED ITS NEWEST LOCATION THE ROASTERY BY PRESS COFFEE, THE NEW FLAGSHIP ROASTING FACILITY AND CAFÉ IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY AT 10443 N. 32ND ST. IN PHOENIX. The new, 5,600 square-foot, two-level roastery
incorporates eco-friendly elements, including energy efficient solar panels on the roof and natural gas. The spacious layout and modern design allows guests to see the roasting process in action while enjoying food and drinks in the comfortable lounge area. Adding a third German made, Probat roaster gave the company the ability to expand for years to come and continue the production of its cold brew coffee at the original roastery, which was recently launched in to-go cans. The second level space accommodates more than 30 people for private events and coffee classes taught by Press experts. The café serves an expanded food and drink menu. In addition to the coffee and espresso based drinks found on Press’ current menu, guests will be able to enjoy beer, wine and a selection of liquor. The “adult” cold brew shaker featuring peanut butter whiskey is one notable addition. “We are thrilled to welcome the community into
our new flagship location. The Roastery allows us to share with the public our love for coffee and how we make it. We hope this iconic building and our passion for the seed to cup process will be something Arizona can be proud of for years to come,” said co-owner Steve Kraus.
To celebrate the grand opening, Press Coffee sold $1 drip coffees and donated 100 percent of profits to Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

PHOENIX APPROVES NEW PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE PROJECTS PHOENIX CITY COUNCIL HAS APPROVED THE PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE PLANS FOR FISCAL YEARS 2021 THROUGH 2023. The plans include Transportation 2050 and Arizona highway user revenue funded pavement maintenance projects to improve street conditions throughout the city. The city’s pavement maintenance budget includes $90 million per year through fiscal year 2023, by which time nearly 1,650 street miles will be treated. The City Council’s action to advance funding to accelerate paving projects allows the city to significantly
repair more of its most deteriorated streets and extend the lifespan of its aging street network.
“As long as we have cars and roads, we will have potholes. However, with the approval of new pavement maintenance projects throughout the city, road improvements will happen much faster,” said Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego. “As the fastest growing city, Phoenix needs safe roads and a strong public transportation system to keep ahead of population growth and today’s vote ensures that we are planning not just for current residents but for future Phoenicians as well.”

The planned projects were identified and prioritized based on street condition assessment data, field evaluations and public input. “The city held more than 75 public meetings across the city to gain extensive community input that helped the city prioritize which streets should be included in the pavement maintenance program,” said Councilwoman Debra Stark, who chairs the Aviation and Transportation Subcommittee. “I am proud that this plan reflects the community’s input, as well as street condition assessments and field evaluations.”
