We "tweaked" the models in Phoenix and Central Arizona in the mid-1980s
(etc.). Try calling Cory Breternitz at SSI in Phoenix or Glen Rice at ASU
for more details. The series included numerous downtown redevelopment lots
and some remote sites outside of Phoenix. You may also call Sue Henry (at
NPS, Washington DC) - as she was part of the team.
