Way back in 2005, John Mayer was winning Grammys. Revenge of the Sith pulled the biggest box office. A new website called YouTube launched.
In rural Pinal County, down a two-lane highway, was a newly incorporated City called Maricopa. The city held its first Salsa festival, which brought in 600 people. City leaders gave Governor Janet Napolitano the key to the city. The city’s first public park, Pacana Park, opened.
Also, in that year, the city’s first Vision for Maricopa for 2025 was released.
It was a 20-year vision statement for the city of Maricopa. It was created by the Maricopa General Plan Citizens Advisory Committee with input from citizens and city leaders received during a March 2005 public workshop.
