Phoenix Bank Building Becomes Job Launchpad | Phoenix News

An abandoned Phoenix bank building, scarred by fire and surrounded by an encampment, is being transformed into the Arizona Legacy Center — a bold urban hub designed to launch jobs and entrepreneurs. Backed by private cash, city funds, and police support, this $100M+ project aims to connect job seekers, small businesses, and training resources through easy light rail access. Partnering with ASU and community leaders like Dr. Velma Trayham, it’s tackling transportation barriers and offering everything from skills training to capital access. Opening October 1st, its ultimate goal? Creating 100,000 new jobs in Arizona by 2035 — one startup, one career, one opportunity at a time.
