guess what's coming to town?  nothing!  hasn't that been proven by all the businesses that are pulling out?  maybe everyone will stop trashing the businesses that are surviving in this town.

Didn't you move out of Maricopa?

Who seen the front page of the communicator?

The article states that Ultrastar is still looking for a location, and they plan to be open in "early 2009". the article paints a very exciting picture of this theater.

The article also mentions "the wells" development. It states that Walgreen's has signed a contract. Walmart is mentioned as "fully committed to opening in the wells and the delay in the development is not due to the slow down of the economy" that is exciting news. its mentioned in the article that walmart typically takes 11 months to build and open a new store.

Home Depot is mentioned as shown on the plans that i posted above, but still in negotiations for their space.

We are VERY EXCITED about this, BUT I was very excited about the Mountinside fitness also and what happened, so I am just gonna wait a bit to be toooooo excited

What are you talking about?

 Looks like maricopa360.com has more info about these developments, including the 3rd one to the west of the under construction walmart. No stores are listed for this development. When is this site going to dig in and post some news about the best growth in maricopa in about 3 years?

 I should be very exciting. At the planning and zoning meeting last night the change of zoning, landscaping and elevations for the stonegate project was approved.

  Between the wells (walmart), Stonegate (to the west of walmart), and the ultrastar development we now have about one million square feet of retail development underway here in maricopa. More restaurants, banks, and stores are coming! 2010 should be a very exciting year for our city. The days of maricopa being know as a city lacking goods and services are going to be short lived. In about another year and a half the the thought of driving to chandler for what you want should be a distant memory!

A movie theater!  I'm doing my happy jig.  Something to do in Maricopa!!  We used to go to the movies quite a bit.  But since moving to Maricopa it was just too much of a hassel to drive into Chandler all the time.  Now we can start watching movies and eating popcorn like before.

 I really feel the bottom of maricopa has been found. As 85239.com reports the MLS sales numbers have been picking up every months since january. I have noticed a lot of rental trucks being unloaded. One of my co-workers who is interested in a house in maricopa has been finding many of the homes he is considering have bids on them.

 In january 59 homes sold, 74 in february, 100 in march, 133 in april and may seen 153 sales. the average price has fluctuated month to month, but is still between the $160's and $170's.

 I think once we have some more shopping in place our property values will take a little jump. No way will maricopa see growth like a few years ago, but steady resonable appreciation and growth is on the horizon.
