Good morning, Chandler.

Chandler Museum is presenting 'Gaman: Enduring Japanese American Internment at Gila River,' an updated exhibit that shows photos, stories, and paper cranes from the internment camp near Chandler and is open now until Jan.

26. A Saturday, May 3 presentation titled 'Baseball Behind Barbed Wire' will run from 10:30 a.m. to noon while an essay contest for students continues through April 30.

Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes confirmed off-camera that he will run for re-election — ruling out a run for Congress — to continue as the state's top elections official, saying his current role best serves Arizona voters.

This decision underscores his commitment to maintaining stable election oversight.

Chandler will use a federal program with matching funds to install a chip surface on unpaved alleys in older neighborhoods (the work is expected to lower dust and reduce maintenance costs).

At the latest meeting, Chandler City Council heard the developer of One Chandler ask for a one-year extension to begin construction of a mixed use project with 290 residential units and retail space at the southeast corner of Arizona Avenue and Chandler Boulevard.

City officials stated that high interest rates and dropping property values have slowed progress on 1,839 approved residential units in downtown, raising concerns about future development.
