A long-awaited commercial retail project could be weeks away from breaking ground, according to both city officials and key players in the project’s development. The plan is to have a major clothing retailer, gym, multiple new restaurants and various other stores that could create 100 jobs or more in Maricopa by spring.

The dirt lot south of Fry’s Marketplace has changed hands a few times since the city slated the land for commercial development more than 10 years ago. Now, the area known as Edison Pointe is in the final stages of gestation, according to Casey Treadwell, leasing director at Vintage Partners the development group in charge of the project.

“After a lot of work and a lot of marketing over the past four or five years, we are moving forward with the project, pending our final construction loan approval,” Treadwell said. “We’re in line to have that in approximately three weeks, and we’ll start construction within a week after that.”
