What's New in Maricopa?

Maricopa is seeing some new construction projects around the city and has residents asking "what's new in Maricopa?"

Besides new housing, Maricopa has 9 construction projects in the works including commercial buildings and road projects. Honeycutt Rd is seeing some improvements between Porter Rd and White and Parker. The construction has a completion date at the end of March.

The most noticeable project is next to the CVS. Maricopa Station, expected to be completed this summer, will be home to Chipotle, Jersey Mike's subs, Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steak Burgers and Starbucks.

Also being constructed is the new Sun Life Heath building, located at 44572 W Bowlin Rd. It will be next to the new Circle K.

40929 W Cowpath Rd is the location for the new Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church. The project has a projected cost of 3 to 4 million dollars.

Police are looking to have more presence south of the train tracks with their new Copper Sky Police Substation, located off Bowlin Rd and Greythorn Dr. That project is expected to be completed in September.

Maricopa is looking to get its third McDonald's, located in the Wal-Mart parking lot off the Maricopa Casa Grande highway.

A Public Works and Fire Maintenance facility is estimated to be completed at the end of November and will be located at Edison and Roosevelt.

Edison Rd will extend its improvements from Roosevelt to State Route 238, still under review.

Smith-Enke Rd improvements from the Porter intersection and Chase to White and Parker are still under review as well.

With all the new construction and improvements, Maricopa hopes to please it's residents while keeping tax money in the city. The is an estimated 42 million dollars of lost revenue to surrounding cities because of lack of shopping in Maricopa.

Large companies are starting to look at Maricopa to put new stores as the population continues to rise close to 50,000 people. With large companies comes more jobs in the city which will relieve some of the traffic for those who commute.

I have lived in Maricopa since 2003 and have loved watching this town grow into a city. I am glad to be a part of the growing population as I find families homes to move into.
