Goodyear Sees Huge Growth...

Goodyear sees huge growth to south, from the Arizona Republic, reports that the city of Goodyear hopes to see the city grow by more than two-thirds by annexing county land south toward Interstate 8. Under the plan, Goodyear could see its population grow to 565,000 at build-out. Goodyear's population in mid 2005 stood at 44,000. A transportation corridor linking Loop 303 to I-8, along with master-planned communities, would swallow up a 95-square-mile swath of rural Maricopa County. The annexation would allow Goodyear to pick up Mobile, a small town that would likely become a village of Goodyear. The Goodyear annexation is on the heels of Buckeye's recently announced huge annexation, 108 square miles.
