The Queen Creek Town Council recently approved an ordinance that allows the town to annex certain real property, which would ultimately add right-of-way to the town’s existing limits near the intersection of Riggs and Ellsworth roads.
The council rendered its approval as part of the consent agenda at its Wednesday, Sept. 5 regular meeting in the Community Chambers, 20727 E. Civic Parkway. The annexation would be of Riggs Road from Ellsworth Road to a quarter mile east of Ellsworth.
The Riggs Road extension is a two-phase project with construction and costs being split between the town and the Maricopa County Department of Transportation. MCDOT completed the first phase from Ellsworth to Crismon roads earlier this year.
As part of the project, the town entered in to an intergovernmental agreement with the county where the town agreed to annex any unincorporated area within the project.
