Paying Too Much for Healthcare?
Central campus This could be a small cluster of buildings in one location that each have a designated function, including Council Chambers — where public meetings take place, City Services, Community Programs and Services, and Administration Offices. Hub and spoke This would lump Administration and Council Chambers into one location then located other city services throughout the city, such as Verrado, Old Buckeye, the burgeoning Teravalis community, or other locales.
Separate council chamber This would spread all city functions throughout the city, perhaps with an administration building serving as a hub with outlying buildings in other parts of the city. One of the concerns coming out of the meetings is that moving City Hall would remove a major downtown anchor. City officials have pointed to the rapid growth of the city as the impetus for the project, saying the current location is no longer suitable for a city center office building. The city already has 100 people working at The Landing, leased space off Verrado Way
south of Interstate 10. Current facilities “were designed for a much smaller city and are now reaching their limits,” according to statements on the city’s web page. “Many city services are spread across multiple locations, which can be inconvenient for residents and businesses trying to get business done.” Since its founding in 1888, Buckeye has seen at least five different City Hall sites, with the most recent location acquired in 2009 with the city adopting a stalled commercial development and then “repurposed it for public use as a temporary Town Hall.”

Building at 530 E. Monroe Avenue (current City Hall) was planned as a private development of mixed-use retail and office/residential.
Economic downturn halted many private projects across Arizona, including this one.
Buckeye government strategically acquired the stalled development and repurposed it for public use as a temporary Town Hall. Since then, it has been the home of the city council, chambers, and city employees. This address is the 5th location of city hall in Buckeye's history.
Buckeye votes to change designation from town to city.
City outgrew capacity at 530 E. Monroe Ave.
