Plans for the huge wholesale center PhoenixMart are moving ahead, and the city of Casa Grande has been working on an arrangement to extend a sewer line to the eastside site, with the developers paying much of the cost.
Besides having a concept that is difficult to understand, PhoenixMart is a major, complex project that requires time to become all put together. Meanwhile, some residents have grown impatient or incredulous. Although a ceremonial groundbreaking was held several months ago, the lack of actual construction will dampen expectations somewhat until the time is right. But the project appears to be very much alive and should mean a major economic boost.
