Residents may have recently noticed construction on a large parcel of land on the northeast corner of 7th Street and the Carefree Highway where a self-storage facility called Carefree Crossings is planned for development.
Grading began on the 17.25-acre vacant lot in Desert Hills about two weeks ago, grabbing the attention of many curious residents who live in the rural area. A sign regarding dust complaints was put up by Maricopa County, but otherwise no other information about the planned project was visible at the construction site.
The Foothills Focusreached out to Maricopa Planning and Zoning Department for information about Carefree Crossings including potential permitting violations, but the department did not respond to our requests. However, The Focus was able to find site plan documents from 2016 regarding Carefree Crossings, although the information may not be the most current.
