I want to take time this month to focus on how Coolidge is accelerating its economy despite the challenges of a worldwide pandemic. Recent events across the globe have made a significant impact on how people live, work and play. Fortunately for Coolidge, our lives are slowly returning to a sense of normalcy, and projects are moving forward with new construction already in progress.
Our homebuilding sector is roaring back to full speed. Century Complete, formerly Wade Jurney Homes continues to build in various parts of Coolidge. McClellan Meadows subdivision was its first foray into homebuilding here and due to its success, the homebuilder expanded into two new communities, Picacho Crossing and Coolidge Country Village. In addition, Richmond American is currently building in McClellan Meadows with its Seasons models.
