Sunset magazine article on Gilbert Arizona

February's issue of Sunset magazine has Gilbert Arizona placing as a runner up in the
Best suburbs category. The article  highlights the ever expanding Heritage District as well
as the home of Agritopia, a planned community.  Agritopia is currently home to Joe's Farm
Grill and the Coffee Shop. There are plans to expand the agrarian community with upscale apartments and a taco shop as well as spaces for unique retailers. On Wednesday evenings
there is a farmers market showcasing Agritopia grown produce as well as live music along
with food truck fare.
Agritopia trivia has 160 pastured eggs laid daily at the farm as well as 200 different crops
being grown over the course of a year.

Kudos to the Town of Gilbert for the well planned development of the downtown district
and to Joe at Agritopia for creating a planned community that brings a farm based lifestyle
to the suburbs.

2 new projects coming to the Heritage District in Gilbert!

A 12,000 square foot venue north of the Hale Center Theatre is on the drawing board
possibly featuring a restaurant brewery, live entertainment, and a new age bowling
alley.

MD Heritage, a local development property, also plans to build an urban style market
between Oreganos's and Snooze on Gilbert Road.  The proposal calls for a specifically
chosen group and local vendors as well.  Hopefully this will bring much needed retail
to downtown Gilbert.  Both sites are currently being used as parking lots.

MD Heritage includes the existing Heritage Marketplace with eateries such as,
Pomo, Barrio Queen, Zinburger, Lolo's Chicken and Waffles, and Peterson's Ice Cream.

The town of Gilbert is the last landowner in the Heritage district.  Most of the land
is being utilized for free surface parking.  The town of Gilbert plans to find the best use
of the land as the district continues to grow.
