Maricopa City Council on Tuesday will consider purchase of 24.2 acres of Maricopa Unified School District land for $3.88 million.
MUSD spokeswoman Mishell Terry said the district found the land to be unsuitable for a future school.
The acreage is east of West Rancho El Dorado Parkway and on both sides of West Placone Way around the new Lake View Park.
The property to the north side of West Placone is earmarked for the city’s future reclaimed water aquifer recharge site, which the city will build from federal funding along with Global Water Resources.
The property to the south of West Placone would be used for future parkland and ballparks adjoining the existing Lake View Park’s playground and ballparks off Powers Parkway West.
