At 10 a.m. Friday, April 23, city of Goodyear and Globe Corp. officials will break ground on Phase I of Goodyear Civic Square at GSQ, a project first conceived in 1984 that now coming to fruition as a result of the public-private partnership the two formed in 2019.
In-person attendance at the ceremony will be limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the city invites residents to watch as it streams live on the city’s Facebook page, @goodyearazgov, as well as on its website, goodyearaz.gov/civicsquare.
