CASA GRANDE — The city of Maricopa is booming and Mayor Christian Price is looking for ways to keep that growth going while meeting the infrastructure needs of the community.
Price is currently running unopposed for another term in office.
In the past few years, the city has been growing rapidly, both as a suburb of Phoenix and as a home for people who are looking for jobs in new industries that are coming to Pinal County, he said.
The city is using the lessons it learned during the downturn in the housing market and looking at how older cities managed their growth to make some changes and grow in a smart fashion, Price said.
