‘Blighted’ properties to be cleared from Heritage District
The property at 44548 W. Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway slated to be cleared.
The Maricopa City Council agreed Tuesday to move forward with the demolition and removal of three Heritage District properties that are considered to be in “blighted condition.”
The three properties – 44548 W. Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway, 44536 W. Burkett and 19514 N. Pershing – are all located just to the east of the Copa Center and Spoons restaurant, which are slated for demolition to make way for the overpass.
The city is acting as a facilitator, with of a Limited Power of Attorney, to remove “dilapidated structures currently located on the subject property,” and to coordinate with utility companies, demolition companies and waste disposal to facilitate the removal of blighted property in the area.
