The city has reached a preliminary agreement with Axon to reimburse the body camera manufacturer over $9 million in infrastructure costs and other expenses connected to the planned expansion of its headquarters in Scottsdale.
The deal will go before City Council Tuesday and is likely to face the same pushback from critics who opposed a similar deal with Nationwide in 2018.
Axon, formerly known as Taser International, was founded in Scottsdale in 1993 and has its eyes on a 74-acre parcel of Arizona state trust land near Loop 101 and Hayden Road to expand its nearby headquarters.
