Welcome home! W elcome to the city of Maricopa. We are glad to have you here. Oftentimes, one of the most difficult parts of moving to a new community is finding the right service providers who offer a high level of service at a fair price. It’s that need, combined with an eye on the future for Maricopa, which will no doubt include many more new citizens, that led us to provide this guide for new residents and visitors of this city. Need a mechanic? We have you covered. How about a heating and air conditioning specialist? You’ll find that too in the pages of this publication. It’s hard to imagine a service that isn’t included in this guide. Not only will you find businesses worthy of your patronage, but you will also find all the civic and governmental information you need to actively participate as a citizen and make a difference in the city you now call home. At InMaricopa, service is at the heart of our mission. We look to inform the citizenry of Maricopa, and this guide is our way of reaching out to you during your first days as a new citizen. InMaricopa has provided 24/7 local news coverage through our website since 2004. Our magazine, InMaricopa is delivered to more than 28,000 residents every month and its reach through our community is unmatched. We serve our community though our website, magazine, social media, and other publications, including this one. If you cannot find what you need in our guide, please let us know.
