Discover Marana is in the midst of gathering information for its Tourism Master Plan Survey. There’s a lot going into this survey because it’s for the community and visitors — to help the town shape the next 10 years of the tourism economy.
Just like the city of Tucson, Marana seeks more exposure. The survey is for everyone to take, including tourists, but especially for those in the tourism and restaurant industry.
The deadline to take the survey is Sunday, April 14.
When it comes to the local food scene in Marana, the Town Manager organized a Restaurant Task Force to help recruit new spots to eat in the town, which is still ongoing.
In 2023, they also launched the Taste of Marana STANDOUT award which recognizes the local establishments we already have for their outstanding food, service, and dedication to our community.
You can take the survey online (deadline is Sunday, April 14).

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
