Goodyear City Council cleared the way for two massive developments totaling more than 600 acres.
In clearing the runway for the 224-acre Innovation Centre to take off between Citrus Road and Loop 303 south of Interstate, city council went against the recommendation of city staff—and the Goodyear Planning Commission, which voted against the project.
But council approved changing the area from agricultural zoning to allow for “industrial” development.
One might say this represents Goodyear “growing up”—as the Innovation Centre’s plan allows buildings up to 150 feet high—which would be nearly 50% taller than the Abrazo West Campus, currently Goodyear’s tallest building.
