Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Buckeye public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Downtown String Lights
The city wants to install string lights on Monroe Avenue to boost downtown atmosphere, but some council members are worried about the $600,000 cost and potential conflicts with future construction.
Sundance Master Plan Amendment for Affordable Multi-Family Housing
An 8.3-acre parcel near Yuma and Dean roads is being added to the Sundance Community Master Plan to pave the way for 188 affordable multi-family rental apartments backed by state funding. While commissioners raised questions about school capacity impacts, the project moves forward to city council with a recommendation for approval.
Hospital Development
Buckeye is finally getting two new hospitals built right next to each other, meaning you won't have to drive out of town for emergency care anymore. It's a massive upgrade for our local healthcare access.
