Phoenix City Council approves A.E. England Building zoning request

On May 3, 2006, the Phoenix City Council approved historic preservation zoning for the A.E. England Motor Company, 424 N. Central Ave. (top photo of current condition; bottom rendering of possible adaptive reuse).

City of Phoenix Parks & Recreation Department, Arizona State University, and other interested parties have begun the process of planning for a "civic space" between the historic U.S. Post Office on the north and bus station on the south. Funding for both the "civic space" and renovation of the A.E. England Building were approved by Phoenix voters on March 14 as part of the City's 2006 Bond Program.
