After long and extensive consideration, Dr. Wood has decided to oppose the Oasis Power Plant development.  This particular use is too intense for a residential area, considering air pollution, noise and visibility.

Fred Wood stood up and spoke at the council meeting on March 30, 2000 to protect the open space for the Rio Salado Park from potential encroachment by developers.  As a member of the Parks and Recreation Board, Dr. Wood is in position to protect the 400 acres of park land promised to the people of Tempe by the Tempe City Council.
