Maricopa is taking a unique step toward affordable housing.
The city will begin offering a program next year that provides free construction house plans for residents in the Heritage District, according to Development Services Director Rodolfo Lopez.
Lopez presented the program during last week’s city council meeting, showing off three different elevations for pre-approved construction plans. The program includes a standard three-bedroom, two-bath house that measures approximately 1,500 square feet.
“There’s some benefits to this as well and we believe the produce can definitely enhance the community design within the neighborhood to meet the spirit, requirements or guidelines of the Heritage District,” Lopez said.
