Scottsdale sees major phone expansion in 1951
In 1951 the Scottsdale telephone system added over 300 new telephones following a $165 000 expansion completed in September. The project extended underground and aerial cabling from the North office to Scottsdale and upgraded service for many existing customers while paving the way for a larger Greater Phoenix metropolitan system. New offices are planned for Sunnyslope Tolleson and regional offices in East and South regions are underway.
