2024 State of the City - Buckeye, AZ

[@RoxanneFuller-ye2cf]

Down town dont need to be limited to one lane. Thats ridiculous. And we wanted a bowling alley But not in Verrado. Why do you city planners think its a good idea to keep packing everything in the Verrado Area? You have thousands of acres around the city to utilize so some of those retail stores and entertainment is accessible to all other residents

[@TInsures]

The City doesn't make the decision on what comes in, trust they shake their tailfeathers at anything that will jobs and taxable revenue to our community. The economic development team shows franchise owners, real estate brokers and large corporations ALL the available space in Buckeye, then the company chooses where they think they will have the quickest and deepest profit. It's a no brainer to build closest to the households with the most dispensable income. Think about it, you posted frustration about more retail and entertainment in your area, right under your post about struggling to find reasonable housing. If I'm a business, how can I open my doors in a "struggling" area an expect to be successful. The City is not going to refuse a permit to a business that will make a positive economic impact to the overall bottom line, in effort to force them into an area they don't want to be. Because the more more successful that new business is, the more taxes they pay to the City. Verrado has about 7 coffee shops in a 3 mile radius, clearly little thought is put in planning which retailers take up space. So what IS happening is the effort to bring in more jobs to Buckeye. Not just any jobs, but well-paying jobs that will lure the 87% of Buckeye residents who leave the Buckeye everyday to go to work, BACK to Buckeye. That will create more affordable housing and increase the average household income throughout our City, which will THEN give retailers and entertainment venues more confidence to build further from Verrado. If they do downtown Buckeye right, it will be super cute and the place people in Verrado and beyond will flock to escape all the chain restaurants coming to the highway exits. Be patient, because eventually EVERYWHERE in Buckeye will be BOOMING!

Technically, much of the new development isn't in Verrado. It's located south of I-10. From what I was told, the planners are focused on Buckeye's entertainment and retail options to also attract people from Goodyear rather than duplicate what Goodyear already has. Businesses will want to locate here for that reason. You won't achieve that if it's located in downtown. It's better that Buckeye is successful, especially considering tax dollars generated.

[@RoxanneFuller-ye2cf]

No it's considered Verrado north of the I-10. That's why it's called Verrado Market Place. And to be honest duplicating is exactly what's happening with the target & Ross.

[@LisaR-wb6yj]

I think you're confused about the area I'm talking about. Yes, Verrado Marketplace is going on the North side. The Commons and The Landing are going in on the SOUTH side. The point is that the plan is more attractive for businesses when it will serve multiple cities.​@RoxanneFuller-ye2cf

[@jimhorn9385]

You talk about bringing in a number of new businesses to Old Town, then you do an about face with a plan to starve them with limited access for vehicles. That's poor planning. You need to offer more lanes, not California styled limited access. Use another street for one-way lanes and make main street a one way. "THIMK!" is what I've taught students and subordinates. Try it!

Where is our affordable housing for the working but still struggling to find reasonably-priced housing families.

[@NathanMadden98]

We are building new residential as fast as possible.

[@RoxanneFuller-ye2cf]

Yes, but I said affordable housing..

The City Of Buckeye are putting their eggs in one basket and that’s in Verrado. Verrado residence don’t even want to be considered part of Buckeye. Verrado isn’t the only area of Buckeye that wants to see growth, other residence that pay taxes want to see growth as well in their communities. The revenue needs to be distributed throughout the city of Buckeye not just Verrado & downtown. The Tartessa community has been established since 2006 way longer than Verrado and we still don’t even have commercial retail in our area. Tartessa community is in need of a gas station, grocery store and most importantly a Banner clinic and high school. Now that Teravalis community is coming soon, will Tartessa continue to be left behind?? Come on people DO BETTER!!! Lastly the City Of Buckeye/ADOT needs to stretch the street lighting on Interstate 10 “throughout” The City Of Buckeye. Majority of the traffic heads to Sun Valley Parkway to Tartessa. Sun Valley exit and the Parkway needs to be lit up at night for residence heading to and from the Tartessa community.

[@iamkbravo]

Nice! When do you plan to work on things out here in the Tartesso area? Retail, Restaurant, and Services ... Including a Harkins?

[@juny881]

They are working on that right now fast station is in the works and south east corner of sun valley parkway will have businesses there within year or so big development even possible hospital

[@sonofthedesert3132]

@@juny881 Would you happen to know where especially this area plans can be looked up ?

[@RoxanneFuller-ye2cf]

They are gonna slam tartesso with warehouses And Solar plant fields

[@iamkbravo]

@@RoxanneFuller-ye2cf That's so dang sad if that's the case.

[@LisaR-wb6yj]

Teravalis will bring you most of that with their plan for 55 million sq ft of commercial real estate.

[@cesarmiramontes7]

Great job, guys! Thank you!

[@deejane40]

When will the horrible smell floating around in the warmer weather be addressed?

[@pattylopez6753]

Exciting! Thank you everyone! Mayor Osborne, I will teach Culinary at WestMec! Any plans for expansion at WestMec

[@NathanMadden98]

That's a county level development

[@EthnosSynergyEnergy]

I think developing old downtown buckeye is a waste of money, that will not generate a good ROI. It would be better spending continuing to develop along the I-10 corridor between verrado way and Watson.

[@TommyDee316]

what about the 80 million you spent on the 1 acre in Harquahala?

[@RoxanneFuller-ye2cf]

I think that was just to gain water rights or something like that

[@deejane40]

Yeah I'm sick of hearing about verrado too. Is this all just for rich people? So elitist when other Buckeye residents can't enjoy the Verrado water park/pool and the only other one is downtown and so completely full of middle school kids that you can't even move around and it's unsafe for smaller children. I guess living in Westpark off Miller Rd designates us "not good enough" to swim with Verrado residents. Totally ticks me off to no end. There are no other public pools that pull that crap.
