Buckeye Finds 2 Million Reasons...

Buckeye finds 2 million reasons to plan for future, from the Arizona Republic, reports that Buckeye, with 600-plus square miles of planning area, could possibly eclipse Phoenix in size at build-out. Two million people may be living in Buckeye in the near future, according to town officials. Buckeye is creating a new General Plan and Development Code to deal with the coming growth and to mold the town into the vision that town officials want. "We're not just building a community, we're building the next great city in the country," said Peggy Fiandaca, president of Partners for Strategic Action, Inc., a consulting group hired by Buckeye to help them plan the growth. "Luckily, some of the best developers in the Valley, as well as the Southwest, have found their way to Buckeye, which is a good thing," Fiandaca said. "When you approve developments, you're looking at the development in relationship to the next development, to the next development, and so on. Hopefully, what this plan will do is to help them understand the connection. How do we weave all these things together? How do we provide quality services to support that into the future?"
