Queen Creek Fire station, roadway improvements planned on gifted 4 acres
Four acres donated to the Town of Queen Creek, worth an estimated $800,000, will be used for a future fire station, drainage and roadway improvements at Queen Creek and Signal Butte roads.
The Queen Creek Town Council on Dec. 17 voted 5-0 to approve a resolution accepting the land donation from Barney Farms I LLC. Mayor Gail Barney had a conflict of interest and abstained from voting, and Councilman Jake Hoffman was absent.
“(T)he mayor and council have authorized the acceptance of certain real property … identifying the real property as necessary for roadway right-of-way and associated improvements and other public uses,” the resolution approved by the council states.
