The Spring 2026 Planning Workshop's I-11/I-40 Gateway Vision Framework received the Honorable Mention Award in the Student Planning Project category at the 2026 APA AZ Planning Conference!
🔱 This project was made possible through a partnership between Arizona State University's Sciences and Urban Planning, ASU Project Cities, the City of Kingman Economic Development Department and MUEP students Ariel Carson, Christian Roemke, Dorian Lemarchand, Evan Buck, Frankie Perry and Raistlin Snow.
🔱 Students developed a vision and implementation framework to transform West Beale Street in Kingman into a vibrant gateway district that supports economic development, tourism and community connections. Through stakeholder interviews, community outreach and an online survey that received more than 1,200 responses, students developed recommendations addressing transportation, land use, economic development, parks and recreation, and more.
