The Queen Creek Town Council held a regular session on August 7, 2025, where community engagement and youth development took center stage. The meeting commenced with Mayor Maria emphasizing the importance of public participation, outlining the procedures for residents to voice their opinions during the session. She reminded attendees that comments must be relevant to the agenda and that respect for the council's business is paramount.

A highlight of the evening was the recognition of three local teens—Liam Truhong, Elijah Matthews, and Bridal Bogan—who completed a five-week summer internship with the town's Public Works Street Division. This initiative, in partnership with the Greater Phoenix Urban League, aimed to provide career development opportunities for young residents interested in public service. The mayor praised the interns for their hard work and dedication, underscoring the program's goal of fostering future talent in the community.

The meeting also featured an invocation led by Pastor Tahan King from Christ Culture Church, who prayed for guidance and unity as the council made decisions impacting the town.

As the council continues to prioritize community involvement and youth engagement, these initiatives reflect a commitment to building a stronger, more connected Queen Creek. The recognition of local interns not only celebrates their achievements but also highlights the town's investment in the next generation.
