Marquez Steps Down to Focus on Sugar Skulls | Tucson News

Edmund Marquez, vice chairman of Rio Nuevo and owner of the Tucson Sugar Skulls, has stepped down to focus fully on his new role with the team, leaving two key board spots open. Marquez, who joined Rio Nuevo in 2015, praised the board’s achievements including Convention Center renovations, new downtown hotels, and Broadway investments, calling his tenure a civic honor. His departure follows the tragic loss of board treasurer Chris Sheafe earlier this year. The vacancies will be filled by appointments from the House speaker and Senate president, as Rio Nuevo continues its mission to revitalize Tucson’s downtown economy.
