A Tempe neighborhood along the light rail is about to get hundreds of affordable apartments and a grocery store in an area that’s become a food desert.
Tempe City Council held a final hearing Nov. 13 to discuss Dorsey Station — a 400-unit development that is 90% affordable — and it unanimously passed an ordinance for a planned area development overlay for the project.
