Scottsdale Arizona-How Tourism Enhances Our Quality of Life


Most of us realize that tourism is our city’s primary industry.

However, besides generating more traffic during event season and making it more difficult to get reservations at good restaurants and book tee times at our great golf courses – few of us are aware of what the booming tourism trade translates into for our pocketbooks and our terrific quality of life.

Here are some of the reasons why I am a strong supporter of tourism and our Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau, and will continue advocating that our city do everything it can to attract more visitors:

Visitors annually spend $4 billion in Scottsdale.  That in turn puts $38 million into the city’s coffers. And that helps make our taxes some of the lowest of any city in the Valley.  Tourism creates 27,000 jobs, or 1 out of every 8 jobs in our city.  The tourism industry also contributes a substantial amount to our property tax revenue that helps fund our schools.

The contributions the tourism trade makes to our city don’t stop there.

We owe a great deal to how the tourists enhance our own quality of life.  Their dollars help keep our streets maintained and beautifully landscaped.  They generate the money to make our parks and libraries some of the best in the country.  In addition, visitors create revenue for the police and fire departments to keep our city safe, which is our number one priority for both visitors and residences.

We should never take all of these things or our visitors for granted – and we should do everything we can to encourage and enhance tourism.

In honor of Memorial Day, please remember and honor those men and women who have protected our freedoms and given their lives in service to our country.

Virginia Korte-Community Policing Improves Our Quality of Life


Scottsdale is not only one of the safest cities in the Valley or even Arizona – it is also one of the safest cities in the entire country.

Obviously, the police officers patrolling our streets and responding to our calls should receive most of the credit for keeping crime under control.   Citizens also play a critical role in keeping our city safe.  When we are vigilant and looking out for one another we avoid becoming victims.

I doubt that there is a city anywhere in the country that enjoys a better working relationship between its citizens and police department than
Scottsdale.  We should be proud of that and not take the relationship for granted.

Last week I voted with the majority of the City Council to provide the SPD with additional personnel.  That will ensure the department runs as efficiently as possible minimizing the need for and cost of overtime.  The 2016-2017 fiscal budget will not be finalized until next month.  When it is, it will include funding to help address our downtown parking limits and improve dispatching officers and records processing, which in turn will support our patrol officers.
Everyday the men and women of our police department are prepared to risk their lives to keep our families safe.  That is why they have earned our respect.  They also deserve our continued help and support whenever they need it.
Earlier this week I filed my nominating petitions with our Scottsdale City Clerk Carolyn Jagger.  Thank you to the 1,651 citizens who signed.

Virginia Korte: 🎓Education and Economic Development Create the Cornerstone of Our Community


For those of you who have followed my involvement in our community for the past 30 years, you know about my long-time commitment to education.  You are also aware of my interest in the revitalization of Southern Scottsdale where my family has deep roots for over 40 years.

Education and Southern Scottsdale are the topics of today’s email.

Scottsdale Gateway Alliance, an organization with which I have been affiliated for several years, has discovered some insightful data about Southern Scottsdale residents.  Approximately 2,000 people have taken part in the SGA survey during the past several months.

The survey found that 42% of the respondents have lived in Southern Scottsdale five or less years.  In addition, 57% of them have children enrolled in elementary schools.  From my perspective, the survey indicates that those of us working to revitalize this great area of our city also need to help ensure that our schools are providing students with the resources and opportunities to succeed.

I have committed years of time and effort to many “Yes to Children” campaigns to enrich our Scottsdale Unified School District’s programs and campuses.  In 2007 and 2014 I had the privilege of serving as the Honorary Chair of the “Yes To Children” campaigns; both were successful in passing the SUSD’s budget override proposals.  I will be supporting this group’s future endeavors to improve our schools and offer our students the best possible education.

I believe that building a strong education system and encouraging more economic development work together to create the cornerstone of the Southern Scottsdale community.
