GOVERNMENT

Growing Smarter At the turn of the millennium, Arizona began to pass laws collectively known as "Growing Smarter Legislation." This set of laws aims to ensure that communities grow in a way that allows future generations to benet from the foresight of today's residents. In the same approach, Maricopa is taking steps to ensure our growth unfolds in a smart and durable way. 1 General Plan Update Updated every 10 years, the Plan serves as a blueprint for the community's 2010 Porter & Maricopa-Casa Grande Hwy

Ultimately, the voters will decide if the growth plan matches their vision for Maricopa's future. Roads, Bridges, and Infrastructure 2 Until recently, the City of Maricopa planned projects ve years in advance. Now, as part of the annual budget process, the City Council approves a 10-year plan for growth in roads, trafc signals, re engines, and other vital infrastructure. This better prepares us for growth by taking a more extended view of future needs. To that end, new recreational amenities are on the horizon, with design recently starting on Civic Center Park and architectural design work advancing on the Field House at Copper Sky. 3 Local Jobs One of the best ways to keep people off State Route 347 is to keep them here throughout the day. Maricopa has set aside land for large-scale employment, with development slated to start later this year.
