Ashley Gardikis joined “The GRyTTY Truth” podcast to discuss Together Strong AZ, a new organization focused on housing affordability, civic engagement, and sustainable growth in Arizona. During the conversation, Gardikis shared concerns about rising home prices in Yavapai County and the challenges young residents face in staying in their hometowns. Together Strong AZ plans to provide accessible information on local policy decisions while encouraging more community involvement in city council meetings and development discussions. The organization also hopes to create more opportunities for residents to connect, collaborate, and help shape the future of their communities.

In this episode of the Grytty Truth, we sit down with Scott Freitag, co-owner of JSO Contracting, Realtor with Arizona Commercial Real Estate Advisors, and a proud member of GRYT, to talk about the future of Central Arizona.
