How Grassroots Is Opposition To Phoenix-Area Development Plans?

Before a new development can start construction, there’s a process the company has to go through to get approval for it.

Part of that involves neighbors of the proposed project having a chance to weigh in. But our next guest on The Show says in some cases, opposition to a development that seemingly is from those who live near it may, in fact, be something else.

Jason Morris is a zoning and land use attorney with the Phoenix firm Withey Morris.

And for another perspective on this, we turn to Stacey Champion. She owns Champion PR and Consulting and is a self-described community activist.
