Council member Billie Gentry lauds the master recreation plan for the Central Arizona Project as a cooperative effort among agencies. The 12 mile Granite Reef Aqueduct stretch from Cave Creek Road to 108th Street would cost millions and need federal support for development, revegetation, and dike protection.
