In the continuing search to find positive economic in-dicators these days, the lat-est passenger statistics from

the Tucson Airport Authority suggest Tucson International Airport may be back on the upswing. For the past three consecutive months – April, May and June – the numbers of passengers are up over the previous year. The last time there was such a streak were the three months ended in April 2012, more than two years ago.

Anyone who has flown commercially lately – or tried to anyway – has discovered the airlines have dramatically reduced capacity to get supply in sync with demand in their efforts to get on firm finan-cial ground in the wake of the economic recession and ris-ing fuel prices. An empty air-line seat still costs money to fly and lost revenue because it couldn’t be sold.

Airline capacity cuts and

rising airfares have contribut-ed to fewer passengers going through most airports across the U.S.

The three months of posi-tive numbers at Tucson In-ternational Airport haven’t been quite enough to erase the down numbers of the first three months of the year, but they have narrowed the nega-tive to just 0.8 percent. That in itself is a positive after 2013, when passenger numbers were down 11.4 percent.

The busiest airline at Tuc-son International is the new-ly-merged American with its two separate brands, Ameri-can and US Airways, com-bining for 39 percent of pas-sengers. Southwest Airlines continues as the busiest single brand at the airport, account-ing for 32.2 percent of passen-gers. The other airlines and their Tucson market shares are: United with 12.8 percent, Delta with 11.3 percent and Alaska with 4.7 percent

Compared with 2013, the US Airways brand so far this year has carried more than

33,000 additional passengers for the largest year-over-year growth. On a percentage ba-sis, Alaska Airlines, which added non-stop flights to Portland, Ore., eight months ago, is up 44.1 percent.

Judging from their sched-ules for the rest of 2014, it appears that airlines have stopped cutting capacity at Tucson. For the last half of the year, average daily seat capac-ity will be up 0.8 percent over what was available last year. Of course, now the onus is on passengers to use the new capacity, which, in turn, will feed the need for additional capacity at Tucson Interna-tional.

The Arizona Department of Revenue continues to combat the growing epidemic of tax fraud

whereby individuals file false income tax returns using stolen or fictitious taxpayer information. Over the past fiscal year, the Department of Revenue stopped over $74 million dollars in fraudulent refunds from being sent out.

Anthony Forschino, Assis-tant Director for the Depart-ment of Revenue in charge of criminal investigations, states this is an increase of over $42 million dollars from the pre-vious fiscal year when $32 million in fraudulent refunds were prevented. “To give an idea of how dire this problem has become, consider that just five years ago we stopped less than $2 million in fraudulent

refunds,” stated Forschino. “To stop over 37 times more in fraud just a half a decade later shows how rapidly this type of crime has proliferated.” He at-tributed the increase from the prior year to enhancements to the Department’s computer programs along with assign-ing additional highly trained and motivated financial audi-tors and investigators to this effort. Forschino also said, “The Department is work-ing with the IRS, other states and law enforcement agen-cies to share information and develop strategies to combat this kind of fraud, especially by the larger criminal syndi-cates and organized groups who are engaged in this type of fraud.”

“The advent of electronic filing has made it possible

for crooks sitting at comput-ers anywhere in the world to use stolen identities to file bogus tax returns claiming fraudulent refunds,” said De-partment of Revenue Direc-tor David Raber. “Tax refund fraud is not limited to Ari-zona. The IRS reports in tax year 2013 it paid out nearly $4 billion in fraudulent refunds to criminals. IRS data shows that identity theft grew 66% during that year. In addition to the IRS, every state taxation agency in the US is dealing with this problem.” Raber also said, “This type of tax fraud amounts to blatantly stealing hard-earned taxpayer money from the state’s general fund. We will continue to do every-thing possible to combat this kind of crime.”

The shuttered, mid-cen-tury brick school was just blocks from Tucson’s business, arts and leisure

districts but scarred by graf-fiti and partial demolition, a blighted pigeon roost at the edge of a historic neighbor-hood better known for its Craftsman-style architecture and stately shade trees.

It was exactly what a grow-ing corporation, in the busi-ness of getting things clean, wanted.

Tucson-based Mister Car Wash needed a new corporate home, and in choosing and renovating 222 E. Fifth St., has relocated 75 employees, added a few more with plans for future hiring, and, accord-ing to an audit that supported Mister Car Wash receiving an economic incentives package from the city, is worth $2.9 million in tax revenues over eight years.

The company moved into its new headquarters in May.

Mister Car Wash CEO John Lai wanted to attract more top talent and give the company a sense of place. With its urban setting and non-office park

aesthetic, he said this enhances a corporate culture that leaders already considered pretty cool.

“It’s not cool just to be cool; it’s not edgy just to be edgy,” he said. “But we do see ourselves as this kind of progressive com-pany that has a forward lean, that is innovative in wanting to continue to push the envelope, and we’re always looking for a better way so we needed really an environment that was very collaborative, very conducive to idea-sharing.”

Lai said the company has doubled in size over the last two and a half years and plans for continued strong growth— its recent acquisitions in-clude six former Octopus Car Washes in the Albuquerque area, including the car wash featured in the popular televi-sion show “Breaking Bad.” In Tucson, the company has eight stores, including four recently purchased from Simoniz.

With a total of 134 car washes and 32 lube centers in 14 states and close to 5,000 employees nationwide, the company’s headquarters was bulging at the seams. Corpo-rate employees were spread over three non-contiguous suites in the La Paloma Cor-porate Center, plus a couple

of satellite offices on the south side of Tucson.

Lai said the former base in the Foothills was a fine space when the company was small-er, but with its lease coming up, Lai and associates looked all over Tucson for a larger replacement. They looked at more conventional spaces in the Broadway Boulevard and airport-area office corridors before finding the former school, built in 1952 by First Baptist Church.

Vacant since 2007 and sur-rounded by chain-link fencing that apparently didn’t keep out trespassers and vandals, the three-story building needed major work – it was a “bor-derline crack house,” Lai said. It was once in the process of being converted to high-end condos, but that fizzled with the housing market bust in 2008. It had also been consid-ered as a site for self-storage units.

The years had been rough, but the building still had char-acter, and was close to but not in the thick of downtown, Fourth Avenue and the Uni-versity of Arizona, and just off the modern streetcar line.

With construction begin-ning in earnest in January, the

building is now fully inhabited with only the corporate train-ing center, an employee gym and a rainwater harvesting system left to complete.

The immediate area had already seen some major re-cent residential activity with The District on 5th, a 760-bed luxury student apartment complex that opened in 2012. With the sale earlier this year of the Greek revival-style First Baptist Church next door – plans are to keep it operating as a place of worship – and at least one other smaller busi-ness locating in the area, the area seems to be enjoying a micro-renaissance, and Mister Car Wash was able to get in at the start, Lai said.

Construction workers blasted the graffiti off the walls, which have remained exposed against the open ceilings. The eastern wall, which bore gash-es where an attached structure had been torn down well be-fore Mister Car Wash came along, was resurfaced and a shaded patio put at its base.

Natural light is abun-dant— the building already had plentiful windows, and construction workers knocked

out some walls and floors and installed a skylight to create a three-story shaft of light that passes through the lobby; on the first floor, windows a little above eye-level look onto the street. Workstations are ar-ranged along an open floor plan. An extra, unneeded stairwell on the north side of the building was sealed off into pods for breakout meeting space.

The employee break room is a centerpiece of the new headquarters, with vintage hanging lights and a com-munal dining table and coffee shop-style bar tops made from reclaimed barn floor joists. (The fir planks came from Kansas but Tucson’s Baer Join-ery crafted the new pieces.)

Externally, only the eastern

wall shows significant change. The distinctive crow-stepped gable on the northeast corner remains.

“It’s such a great addition to the neighborhood and com-munity,” said Felipe Valenzu-ela, Mister Car Wash’s Director of Operations.

The adaptive reuse project was worth about $5 million, according to its developer, Mi-chael R. Wattis, Inc.

When the company begins paying property taxes, it will represent significant new reve-nues because the building had been previously exempt as a religious institution, and then gutted and empty since.

Prior to renovation, the building had a full cash as-sessed value of about $86,000.

CITY ECONOMIC INCENTIVES FOR MISTER CAR WASH

The Tucson City Coun-cil approved two economic incentives for the Mister Car Wash HQ development this spring: the primary jobs in-centive and the Government Property Lease Excise Tax, or GPLET, incentive.

The GPLET grants an eight-year waiver on property

taxes. During that time, the property is owned by the city and leased back to the busi-ness owner. The primary jobs incentive allows a waiver of city building permit fees and a credit of construction sales tax.

To qualify for the GPLET, the project must be located in the established Central Busi-ness District; improvements must increase property value by at least 100 percent; and independent analysis must de-termine that the economic and fiscal benefit to the govern-ment exceeds the benefits re-

ceived by the private recipient.To qualify for the primary

jobs incentive, a development must have a minimum capi-tal investment of $5 million, create at least 25 jobs that pay over $52,400, and employers must pay at least 75 percent of employee health insurance premiums.

With the transfer of work-ers from unincorporated Pima County and the future hiring of 40 more, the headquar-ters will directly support 112 jobs with an average salary of $80,000.

What are the recent amendments to Article 9 of the Arizona Uniform Commercial Code?What are the recent amendments to Article 9 of the Arizona Uniform Commercial Code?Q:

A:

Business Law

On April 22, 2014, Governor Brewer signed into law Senate Bill 1046, which contained Arizona’s version of the 2010 Amendments to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. There was an emergency clause in the bill, which provided that the amendments would take effect immediately.These amendments clarify and modify certain procedures for obtaining and maintaining security interests in personal property. For businesses that prepare and file UCC Financing Statements, these changes impact the process and procedures for filing Financing Statements going forward. Specifically, some of the updated provisions are as follows: (i) defining a “Public Organic Record” of an organization, which record is used to identify the legal name of an organization, (ii) clarifying the correct name on a financing statement for a trust or for a decedent’s estate; and (iii) requiring that an individual debtor use the same name on a Financing Statement as is shown on the individual’s Arizona Driver’s License. There are also new rules that apply in the event a debtor changes its location and that allow a party to contest a wrongfully filed record. This answer is only an abbreviated summary of the 2010 Amendments. The text of Senate Bill 1046 should be reviewed in its entirety by anyone working in this area.

Why is it so difficult and complicated for a small nonprofit organization to obtain Federal tax-exempt status as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization?Why is it so difficult and complicated for a small nonprofit organization to obtain Federal tax-exempt status as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization?Q:

A:

501(c)(3) Tax-Exempt Organizations

As of July 1, 2014, the IRS adopted a streamlined application process that eligible organizations may use to apply for recognition of tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3). Only certain organizations—generally, those with less than $50,000 in gross receipts and $250,000 in assets—are eligible to apply for exemption under Section 501(c)(3), using a streamlined Form 1023-EZ. To determine if you are eligible to file Form 1023-EZ, you must first complete a Form 1023-EZ Eligibility Worksheet. If you answer “No” to all of the worksheet questions, you are eligible. A user fee of $400 is required to process your Form 1023-EZ application. Form 1023-EZ can be filed only electronically, by going to www.irs.gov/form1023 or www.pay.gov. (Enter “Form 1023-EZ” in the search box.) The IRS will not accept printed copy submissions of the application. If you have any questions about the new streamlined Form 1023-EZ application form, Quarles & Brady is happy to assist.

Am I required to give an employee maternity leave?Am I required to give an employee maternity leave?Q:

A:

Employment & Labor

Neither Federal nor Arizona law require an employer to provide paid maternity leave. If you have 15 or more employees, the Federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act requires employers to treat pregnant employees the same as other employees with a temporary disability. This means you must provide the same or similar accommodations for an expectant worker that you do for any employee unable to perform his or her regular duties. If you are covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”) (generally if you have 50 or more employees within a 75 mile radius of the employee’s worksite and the employee has worked for you for at least 12 months and performed 1250 hours during the previous year), you must provide the employee up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave in a 12 month period for the birth of a child, the placement with the employee of a child for adoption or foster care, and the care of a newborn/newly placed child. The employee also may be entitled to intermittent leave or a reduced schedule in these situations. Additionally, if there are medical difficulties as a result of the pregnancy or birth, you should consider whether the employee is entitled to leave under FMLA or the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”).

How do my pets fit into my estate plan?How do my pets fit into my estate plan?Q:

A:

Trusts & Estates

Our animal friends can be addressed in our Wills or Revocable Trusts in a variety of ways. If you don’t mention them at all, your Personal Representative or Trustee will have to decide what to do with them.

If you wish to be more specific, it can be as simple as designating who will receive your pets upon your passing. However, many people realize the financial responsibilities that come with that ownership. Your Will or Trust can specify a dollar amount be given directly to the person who takes the pets to offset the costs of their food and veterinary care. You can also go beyond that and establish a Trust fund for the animal’s benefit, to ensure that they will be taken care of properly for the rest of their life. A Trust is legally set aside for the animal’s benefit, following the specific terms in the document, and upon the animal’s passing, will go to the named beneficiary, which can be individuals or charities.

Despite common miscon-ception, independent voters in Pima County can take to the polls or

cast early ballots this primary election season.

About 10 days prior to the Aug. 26 primary, sample bal-lots will be mailed out to the registered voters’ households, giving them the opportunity to research candidates. If a voter is registered as independent, he or she will have the option on election day to select can-didates that are affiliated with one of the major political par-ties – Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, or Green Party – that are participating in the primary.

This is often a point of con-fusion for voters, according to Brad Nelson, Pima County elections director.

“Some independents ask if they can pick one candidate from one party, and another candidate from another party, and the answer to that is no,” said Nelson. “You get to pick one party and one party only.”

Independent voters will, however, receive sample bal-lots for all candidates included in the primary election. Those registered as one of the politi-cal parties participating in the primary will only receive a sample ballot for their affili-ated party. Independent voters who cast a vote in the primary will not become registered for the party in which they voted for, but will remain registered as independent.

Nelson said another gray area comes with voters who request an early ballot but do not use it.

“A lot of people who request an early ballot wait until very last minute, and then come in on election day and say they left their ballot behind, and ask if they can get another one,” said Nelson. “The answer is yes, but that slows down the process considerably because we have to make sure they didn’t inadvertently mail that ballot in, and are now trying to come in on election day and vote at the polls as well, so we have to hold that ballot in a provisional status.”

In the case of the2012 pres-idential election, 50,000 Pima County voters had their votes held in provisional status due to such circumstances.

“The number one thing I want to stress is if you’ve got an early ballot, use it,” said Nelson.

KEN BENNETTArizona Secretary of State

Ken Bennett has the most po-litical experience of any of the candidates in the race. Bennett first ran for the Prescott City Council when he was just 25 years old in 1985. He went on to serve on the Arizona State Board of Education in the 1990s, served eight years in the Arizona Senate after winning office in 1998 (including a four-year stint as Senate presi-dent) and has served six years as Arizona Secretary of State.

Bennett’s platform includes improving schools (while op-posing the Common Core learning standards), replacing the state income tax with an expanded sales tax, investing in infrastructure and reducing the regulatory burden on busi-nesses.

Bennett is using the Clean Elections program to fund his campaign. He qualified for $753,000 for his primary cam-paign earlier this year.

DOUG DUCEYAfter he retired from his

job as CEO of Cold Stone Creamery, Doug Ducey de-cided he wanted to get into politics. He won the Arizona Treasurer’s Office in 2010 and,

to further boost his statewide profile, chaired the opposi-tion to 2012’s Prop 204, which would extended the state’s temporary one-cent sales tax, with the proceeds dedicated primarily to education and transportation projects.

Ducey’s priorities include cutting taxes (he promises a tax cut every year and wants to eliminate the state income tax if possible), reducing regu-lation, reducing the number of state employees, opposing federal control of education (including Common Core) and increasing state regula-tion of local school districts in areas such as spending and standards.

He’s also raised more money than any of the other candidates. As of May 31, Du-cey had raised more than $2 million for his campaign and spent more than a $1 million.

SCOTT SMITHAfter retiring from a job

heading up a homebuilding company for about a decade, Scott Smith spent six years as mayor of Mesa, where he de-veloped a reputation as a prob-lem solver and networked well enough to be elected the presi-dent of the U.S. Conference of Mayors.

Smith has adopted posi-tions on hot-button issues

that put him at odds with the party’s base. He is the only can-didate in the race to support Gov. Jan Brewer’s decision to expand the state’s Medicaid program last year. The expan-sion was fiercely opposed by most Republican lawmakers and the GOP base because they viewed it as an expan-sion of Obamacare, but the healthcare industry and nearly all the chambers of commerce support it because it brought billions of federal dollars to the state to support hospitals, clinics and other healthcare providers.

Smith had raised more than $1 million for his cam-paign as of May 31 and spent about $200,000.

CHRISTINE JONESChristine Jones decided

to get into politics after retir-ing from her job as general counsel for GoDaddy.com, the Scottsdale-based Internet giant that licenses domain names. Jones started working for the company in 2002, when it was still a start-up with a few dozen employees and left after it was sold in 2011.

Jones’ platform includes promises to grow jobs, cut taxes, protect the U.S. Consti-tution, oppose Common Core and battle illegal immigration. That final topic is a big focus

on the campaign; last month, Jones released a border-pro-tection plan that included a call for National Guard troops on the border and more state funding for Southern Arizona sheriffs, border-wall construc-tion and surveillance cameras to detect border crossers, earn-ing the endorsement of Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu.

Jones had raised nearly $2.3 million for her campaign as of May 31, including $1.6 million she had lent herself. She has spent more than $1.3 million.

FRANK RIGGSFrank Riggs is an Army

veteran and former police who had an unusual career in Congress in the 1990s, repre-senting a Democratic district in California’s Napa Valley area; he won his seat in 1990, lost it in 1992, won it back in 1994 and then held onto it for two terms before launching an unsuccessful run for U.S. Senate in 1998. He still enjoys telling stories about the House Bank overdraft scandal and his vote in favor of Bill Clinton’s impeachment.

Although he is not well known in Arizona political circles, Riggs decided to get into the crowded gubernatori-al race because as he surveyed the field, he “didn’t see any-body with my proven leader-

ship experience and ability. I’m running against some wealthy establishment candidates with very, very thin records.”

Riggs had raised roughly $212,000 for his campaign as of May 31, including a $170,000 in loans from himself. He had spent about $97,000.

ANDREW THOMASTwo years after losing a

2002 statewide race for attor-ney general, Andrew Thomas won the post of Maricopa County attorney. During his six-year reign, Thomas forged an alliance with Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and stretched the law to its limit to pursue indictments against undocumented immigrants.

One theme of Thomas’ campaign has been the notion that he was unfairly targeted by the state’s corrupt political system and the Obama ad-ministration; as he puts it on his website: “Why did liberal judges and their henchmen attack Andrew Thomas’ law license for five years? Because he’s a warrior who took on the establishment and stopped il-legal immigration.”

Thomas qualified for Clean Elections funding last week, which means he’ll have $753,000 to spend on his pri-mary campaign.

Election season is here – A look primary candidates seeking the state’s top positionStaff ReportInside Tucson Business

W e’ve heard before that elections are often won in the primary. With the

redistricting in our state and the number of districts that favor one party over another, this will certainly be the case during this upcoming election cycle.

Our local news announced in early 2013, that Arizona’s Independent voters now out-number Republicans and Democrats therefore it is vi-tally important that Indepen-dent voters engage and vote in the Primary. I’ve found that many friends registered as In-dependents are not aware of the process on how to vote in the Primary nor the influence of their vote in determining the outcome of elections. The state recently released data that only 10 percent of Inde-pendent voters vote in the pri-mary. Just consider the impact of their voice!

I’ve listed below a few tips and resources gathered by the staff at the Arizona Town Hall.

1. Independents - Choose the Primary with the greatest impact on the Elections: If you are one of the growing num-ber of Independents, select the party that dominates in your area. For example, if your district is predominantly Re-publican, choose the Repub-lican primary. If your district is primarily Democrat, choose the Democratic primary. In-dependents can choose which primary they want to vote in at the polls or request an early ballot for the primary of choice by contacting their County Recorder. In Pima County, visit https://www.re-corder.pima.gov/earlyballot/

default.aspx2. Make it Easy to Vote:

Sign up to automatically re-ceive a mail-in ballot (which you can also drop off at any polling place on election day) by registering for the Per-manent Early Voting List at http://www.recorder.pima.gov/pevl.aspx

3. Vote for the Best Can-didate: Research candidates using nonpartisan national websites like www.votesmart.org or our local voter educa-tion website www.votaaz.org. The Arizona Republic also just launched an interactive web-site that gives Arizona can-didate information based on your address at http://azvotes.azcentral.com/build.do. Pay attention to how candidates say they will solve a problem. Is it realistic? Does it model the leadership style you believe to be the best for the state? What do organizations who cham-pion the causes you support say about the candidates?

Here are a few Important Dates to take note of:

July 28 - At midnight Deadline to Register for the Primary Election

July 31 - Primary Election Early Voting Begins

Aug. 26 - Primary Election day

Oct. 6 - At midnight dead-line to register for the General Election

October 8 - General Elec-tion early voting begins

Nov. 4 - General Election Day

Please share this article with friends and colleagues that you know are registered Independents. At the Tucson Hispanic Chamber, we are ed-ucating our members on the importance of registering to vote and participating in the elections. We also discuss is-sues that are important to our more than 1,000 businesses and organizations and meet with candidates to discuss our chamber’s priorities.

FINANCIAL FIX

While you’re busy tending to business, it can be easy to al-low your financial

life to run on auto-pilot. Pay-checks are set on direct de-posit, bills are paid electroni-cally, and with a little luck and professional guidance, invest-ments grow at a promising pace. Despite the regularity of it all, your finances may need attention, just as a car requires regular maintenance and children need booster shots. It’s important to make time for a financial physical. Here are five key areas where a little attention now could help ensure a healthy financial outlook for the future.

1. Review your invest-ment portfolio. It’s a smart move, and you don’t have to do it alone. Many financial institutions have investment advisors on staff who are happy to help you analyze your invest-ments and look ahead at your financial goals. Partici-pating in an annual, and often-times complimen-tary, review with an in-vestment advisor will also ensure that you avoid some of the most common retire-ment-planning mistakes, such

as failing to factor in higher health care costs and disre-garding the potential need for a long-term care plan.

2. Entertain a lower mort-gage rate. Mortgage rates re-main at historical lows and property values are slowly increasing, creating valuable opportunities for refinanc-ing and home sales. Get a better read on the market by consulting with a mortgage lender and a real estate agent to more appropriately deter-mine how you can take ad-vantage of these remarkable rates. You may find out that the move you had planned to make in another five years might be more advantageous

now. And, if you decide to refinance, a mortgage lender can crunch the numbers to give you an accurate idea of how much you will ulti-mately save and what that

savings will cost up front.3. Explore free checking.

Believe it or not, it is possible to maintain a free, or very

low-fee, checking account, if you know where to look. A recent bankrate.com sur-vey found 72 percent of the largest U.S. credit unions of-fer free checking accounts to their members. Inquire with a representative at your finan-cial institution about balance and deposit requirements as-sociated with free checking accounts. And, if your check-ing account is not free, ask what perks come with it. You may be missing out on some valuable, time-saving conve-

niences. 4. Investigate savings op-

tions. Financial institutions offer a number of savings op-tions that provide more ac-cessibility than stock market investments and higher yields than a simple savings account. Alternative savings vehicles, such as certificates of deposit, share certificates and money market accounts, have been used by generations of savers to help build a nest egg with-out the restrictions of a long-term commitment.

5. Make your money work for you. Bankrate.com reports that two-thirds of Americans don’t save enough, while some don’t save at all. And, many Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck. To avoid being part of those statistics, set sav-ings goals. Financial experts suggest establishing short-, mid- and long-term targets for saving and encourage sav-ers to be accountable for their progress. After all, you never know when a “rainy day” savings account will come in

handy. (Editor’s Note: Rene Alma-

when he sold T-shirts pro-claiming “I survived the streetcar” on the back and a crashing stick-figure bicyclist flailing over the tracks, an im-age taken straight off of street signs reminding cyclists to be aware of the rails.

He said employees from the Sun Link headquarters about a block away are lunch-time regulars. The relatively new business owner but 25-year Tucsonan has supported the streetcar all along and would have even if he didn’t own a business on Fourth.

Britton Dornquast is di-rector of the MainStreet Busi-ness Assistance program, an RTA-funded office that helps businesses in the paths of all infrastructure improvements ride out construction. He said few businesspeople on the streetcar line were ada-mantly against the addition. “Overall the corridor was very bullish about the streetcar in a variety of ways,” Dornquast said. “There was some ner-vousness in certain areas.”

Construction impacts, in-creased competition due to businesses wanting to locate on the line in anticipation

of a more robust customer stream (or greater connectiv-ity making similar businesses less isolated), and increased rents as landlords anticipated the value of their real estate increasing all shook up some anxiety. And new competi-tion and increased rents have led to some turnover along the corridor, he said.

Some people are just scared of change, he said. It’s normal to be nervous, but some proprietors were

motivated by the challenge. “Attitude plays a huge factor in these kinds of things. Is it the same construction? Yes. Is it the same impacts for a business, potentially? Yeah,” he said. “But in terms of how we approach it, it’s just mind-boggling how that can affect what happens and even the numbers that come as a result of that.”

MainStreet has consulted on roughly 50 total regional projects impacting some

5,000 businesses, provid-ing informational liaisons and construction ombuds-men, preparation workshops and one-on-one counseling. Based on these experiences, Dornquast said a typical shop in a construction zone can expect to see business fall by about 15 to 20 percent (Main-Street uses an algorithm to estimate just how much a business might suffer.) Some shops can fare worse, others better, and a rare one can even get a boost. Professional ser-vices, such as doctors or ac-countants, tend to stay stable.

For the approximately four-mile streetcar corridor, about 850 businesses are within a quarter-mile of the route. About 180 took ad-vantage of MainStreet’s direct counseling services.

Dornquast said that some business owners viewed the streetcar’s feasibility with a pragmatic skepticism up un-til the city won a $63 million Federal Transit Administra-tion grant in 2010. At that point, private investment lit up almost immediately, he said.

Now, about a year after construction wrapped up and operational testing started, businesspeople are ready for

streetcar action, he said.With the fences long

down outside the 4th Av-enue Deli, Austin Counts agreed that his neighbors are eager to see the cars moving. “Ultimately this is a good thing for our city and I’m glad to see that it’s here. It’s finally here,” he said. “I hope that once the naysayers actually get on the streetcar and ride it that they will enjoy it, and they will stop by the deli and get a sandwich.”

David Slutes, entertain-ment director for Hotel Con-gress, said the downtown revitalization over the past two years is largely a result of streetcar-driven buy-in.

“Its impact has al-ready been felt,” he saidHotel Congress, at 311 E. Congress St., weathered the construction well, Slutes said. It is, of course, an institution; with its 95-year presence in Tucson, the hotel and night-spot has the roots to be a sur-vivor, he acknowledged.

Slutes said he has always been a streetcar proponent. With significant public-private investment that has transformed downtown as a residential, business, din-ing and cultural district, the streetcar has, in a way, been around for a while.

“It’s frosting now.”
