Business Briefcase

BY CONNOR DZIAWURA

West Valley View Managing Editor

IN THE BIZ

Hello, readers! And welcome back to the Briefcase. This week is quite interesting, as a longstanding downtown Phoenix welding business has changed hands to owners from Goodyear. Beyond that, Litchfield Park will soon bear witness to a new business and the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce has several events. Let’s jump right in. Here’s the news!

First, precision fabrication shop RM Garrison purchased custom fabrication and welding business Valley Machine Works Inc. Tyler and Tricia Williams of Goodyear are the new owners. Through the merger, Tyler and his father, Shane, will combine and operate RM Garrison, All American Billet, Accutronix Motorcycle Products and Valley Machine Works at a 24,000-square-foot building at 1138 W. Watkins Street, Phoenix. The sale is separate from the building; assets will be moved over within 90 days. Valley Machine Works Inc. has been a historic Downtown Phoenix staple since 1909.

Its building, 701 W. Jackson Street, was purchased by Phoenix Theatre Company for a new theater troupe.

Next, TeenyTown Playland will celebrate its grand opening from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, April 27. The grand opening event will feature a ribboncutting ceremony, bounce houses, outdoor fair games with prizes, face paint-

ing and more. Additionally, admission to the playland will all day be cut in half – $5 – and there will be food trucks and additional booths.

TeenyTown Playland is a mini town for children ages 0 to 10 that features a variety of playhouses, according to its website. The environment and toys it provides foster education and fun ac(USPS 004-616) is published weekly

MAG seeking input on region’s transportation future

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

The Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) is asking individuals who live or work in the Maricopa County region to complete a survey about what they value about the regional transportation system. Their opinions play a key role in creating the next long-range transportation plan, Imagine.

“This survey asks people what they value most, and allows them to tell us their transportation priorities,” said MAG Chairwoman Gail Barney, who is also the mayor of Queen Creek. “We

Next, I can’t leave out Figure 8’s Body Sculpting. Founded by Stacey Kenney, Figure 8’s is a home business based around non-invasive treatments “to get you the body you deserve,” according to its website.

Different treatments range from cupping vacuum therapy to bamboo wood therapy, to acupressure facial rejuvenation and ultrasound cavitation, to reflexology. Those prices range from $45 to $95, and session durations vary. Monthly specials are offered, too. It’s located at 287 S. Old Litchfield Road, Litchfield Park.

want them to imagine how they want to get around in the future.”

MAG will use the survey results to help develop plans for future roads, public transit, bikeways and pedestrian improvements.

A primary focus of MAG is the development of the next Regional Transportation Plan and the associated planning for the extension of the half-cent sales tax to expand, improve and enhance the region’s transportation infrastructure. A regional transportation plan is a longterm blueprint of a region’s transportation system.

“This system isn’t only for us, it also is for our kids and grandkids, the future generations who will be using this system and calling this place home. It is our responsibility to be forward thinking,” Barney said.

The online survey takes approximately 10 minutes. Participants who complete the survey are eligible to win raffle prizes ranging from $100 gift cards to personal electronics and a $1,000 grand prize.

To take the survey, go to azmag.gov/ values.

Let’s step away from businesses.

First, Liz Illg of Puff & Fluff Grooming and Pet Sitting will speak at an upcoming Lunch N Learn. That event, noon to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 9, covers “Branding, Managing Your Social Media Reputation, and how to Simplify with Systems.” Lunch will be provided. Attendance is free, but reservations are required. The event will be at the chamber office, 289 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear.

Finally, Small Business Administration-affiliated organization SCORE will host a recruiting event at the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, April 30. SCORE is comprised of busi-

ness executives who volunteer, free of charge, to assist new business start-ups.

The organization also produces seminars and has subject matter experts. In an effort to expand its Southwest Valley presence, SCORE is looking for successful businessmen and -women who can help assist start-ups. For more information on SCORE, visit https:// youtu.be/MTZ_N76ttyc.
