34 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 3, ISSUE 7 five years. He shares, “We have a BNSF Railway line that runs through the heart of town. There’s a lot of opportunity there because we do have an industrial area, but it doesn’t have access to rail. I’d be excited about expanding that service too.” He would also like to see the rodeo industry grow even further to create more job opportunities, and there could be an emphasis on secondary industries like panel manufacturing, lighting, and equipment testing in real time. Boyle is focused on ensuring the town keeps its world capital title for team roping instead of becoming the ‘Roundabout Capital of the World.’ The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) has proposed installing five roundabouts on U.S. Route 93 (US 93). He states, “We’re trying to figure out how to combat that, because that’s what people are going to know us by. When they drive from Phoenix to Las Vegas, they’re going to go pass through all these roundabouts and many people don’t know how to drive them. So, we want to be careful how we market it. I’m excited about updating our General Plan and zoning code, that’s very important to me. This is a great community, and it has everything you need, especially when raising a family. I’ve enjoyed all my years here and hope to enjoy many more here in Wickenburg.” PREFERRED VENDOR/PARTNER n BEARCAT Manufacturing, an Etnyre International Company www.bearcatmfg.com
