Beginning on Oct. 24 there will be lane restrictions on State Route 238 as part of the Edison Road Extension project. The lane closures will last approximately three weeks. One eastbound and one westbound lane will be open at all times during construction, however delays are possible.
Crews will be widening the existing pavement section on SR 238 to provide separate left and right turn lanes at the intersection.
The Edison Road Extension will be the main access for the future Estrella Gin Business Park and will provide a bypass for traffic on State Route 347. The entire project will take about seven months to complete.
The Estrella Gin Business Park site is a 50+ acre, city-owned parcel located just west of the intersection of Edison Road and Roosevelt Avenue. The business park is planned to be developed through a public-private partnership. It is the City’s leading project to spur local economic growth. The goal for the business park is to provide employment opportunities for local residents by allowing expanding businesses to remain in the community and facilitating the relocation of industry to Maricopa.
Approximately 40 acres is available for commercial development and is anticipated to include a mix of industrial, office and flex space. The first phase of development is planned to be an approximately 36,000 square foot building with suites for multiple tenants. The Boyer Company, the project developer, is currently seeking prospective users for the business park. To learn more about the development plans, lease and build to suit opportunities contact the Economic Development Department at 520-316-6990 or [email protected]
