The city of Maricopa (AZ) has acquired a 2.5-acre parcel of land to serve the location of a new fire station to serve an area annexed by the city, according to a report published by inMaricopa.com.
The city paid $137,500 for the land east of North John Wayne Parkway to serve the South Maricopa Fire Association south of the current city limits, the report says.
In order for the 5,700 acres south and west of the city limits to be annexed, the city has to agree to provide city services, including fire protection, which the new fire station will accommodate, the report says.
