The Rio Nuevo Multipurpose Facilities District will spend $52 million and the state will provide $4 million to support Caterpillar’s move to Tucson, west of downtown.
The site of the future Caterpillar headquarters near downtown Tucson will soon be abuzz with activity.
A fence will be erected around the work site, west of Interstate 10 and south of West Cushing Street, to begin removal of an existing landfill.
Contractors expect to move between 10 and 15 trucks through the area per hour with another dozen personal vehicles on site.
Digging up the landfill and transporting it to Los Reales landfill on the city’s southeast side is expected to take about four months and set to begin in early June.
