1. The Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce has launched a new website in celebration of its 7th year. The website was built through Digital Saints and launched on Wednesday. The focus of the new website is to improve chamber access for members while providing information. Click to view the new website. (Daily Independent)
2. Maricopa County election officials are working to counter election denialism. The county's 2020 election has been in the spotlight for the Republican party since Donald Trump lost the state in the 2020 General Election. The former president even stumped in Arizona last week. The county will not have ballot drop boxes this year but has expanded its voting center locations. (NPR.org)
3. Food bank demand in Scottsdale has risen dramatically. The increase is reportedly due to the rising cost of groceries at local supermarkets. For some Scottsdale food banks, the number of residents using their services has more than doubled. The supply of food that the banks have to distribute has also gone down. (East Valley Tribune)
