Maricopa City Council was presented with a less-than-favorable floodplain update, evidence of likely delayed development.
“Right now, we are kind of sunk at this point.” – Public Works Director Bill Fay
The City of Maricopa, in conjunction with several developers, was planning to construct a channel that would dramatically shrink the city’s four major flood zones. That would allow for development in areas currently residing in the floodplain.
But those plans for the North Santa Cruz Wash Capital Improvement Project have hit a wall, according to Maricopa Public Works Director Bill Fay.
