It been a decade in the works, but the construction of a new Maricopa Fire/Medical Department administration building has finally arrived.
The new building is colorful, bright, big and inspired by the community it will serve.
Rodolfo Lopez, Maricopa senior planner, told members of the Heritage District Advisory Committee Thursday evening they were there to vote on the elevation proposal for the facility. The proposed building will be south of Fire Station 575, which is on the west end of Edison Road.
“Our main criteria for reviewing this is to make sure that the elevation incorporates the colors, materials and the type of elements within the building,” Lopez said.
The committee gets early looks at developments coming into the Heritage District, which comprises a specific area of “old” Maricopa.
