West Side Story: Wave of development drives city forward
by Jay Taylor | inMaricopa
It is impossible to miss all the construction activity in Maricopa.
Graders and bulldozers moving earth on vacant land. Road crews improving and widening streets. Structures sprouting from the ground like summer corn.
According to city leaders, new homes, apartments, shopping centers and a business park are being developed at record pace. Projects also include a community hospital, high-end supermarket, restaurants and a surf park proposed for a site off State Route 238. (See list of six key projects and more on waterpark plans.)
