The area is already surrounded by two new hotels, new restaurants and retail options. In addition to this project, the Goodyear Professional Plaza will also be home to a Class A medical office project for which plans state construction will begin in late 2021. The city of Goodyear is focused on bringing high-scale office developments to the community. Goodyear Civic Square at GSQ is another example of that commitment. In partnership with Globe Corp., the project includes a new city hall, library, 2-acre community park, a 100,000-plus-square-foot Class A office building and parking garage. It’s anticipated to open in summer 2022. The West I-10, including the Goodyear, Litchfield Park and Buckeye office submarket, continues to perform well, with office vacancy rates at 8.6% versus 13.8% for the Phoenix metro, according to the Colliers 2021 Q1 Greater Phoenix Office Market Report. Faith, Ledyard & Faith’s new Goodyear location is estimated to open in late 2022. For more information about the firm, visit faithlaw.com.

A special election has been called by, and will be held in, Agua Fria Union High School District No. 216 of Maricopa County, Arizona (the “District”), on November 2, 2021 (“Election Day”). The purpose of the election is to permit the qualified electors of the District to vote on authorizing the District to adopt a General Maintenance and Operation Budget that includes an amount of up to 15% in excess of the revenue control limit for the fiscal year 2022/2023 and for six subsequent years (subject to certain reductions provided by statute in years six and seven). The District’s current budget override is by law required to be reduced by one-third in fiscal years 2023/2024 and 2024/2025. Because the existing override does not reduce by one-third until fiscal year 2023/2024, the proposed override budget will equal the 2022/2023 alternate budget. The full budget override amount is estimated to be $8,224,899 and would be funded by an estimated $0.50 tax rate per one hundred dollars of net assessed valuation used for secondary property tax purposes, which is approximately equal to the current tax rate levied for the existing override. In future years the amount of the increase will be as provided by law. The election will be a mailed ballot only election. No polling places will be provided. Ballots will be mailed to qualified electors residing within the District no earlier than 27 days prior to the election and no later than 15 days before the election. Ballots must be received or dropped off at one of the designated ballot drop box locations as designated by the County Elections Department and as set forth in the informational pamphlet and/or the ballot no later than 7:00 p.m. on Election Day. The informational pamphlet will be mailed to the homes of qualified electors. If a ballot is lost, spoiled, destroyed or not received by the elector, the elector may receive a replacement ballot at the ballot replacement locations designated by the County Elections Department. The last day to register to vote in order to be eligible to vote in this election is Monday, October 4, 2021.

el 2 de noviembre de 2021 (“Día de la Elección”). El propósito de la elección es permitir que los electores con derecho a voto del Distrito voten sobre la autorización al Distrito para adoptar un Presupuesto General de Mantenimiento y Operaciones que incluya una cantidad de hasta un 15% superior al límite de control de ingresos para el año fiscal 2022/2023 y por seis años subsiguientes (sujeto a ciertas reducciones proporcionadas por la ley en los años seis y siete). El actual aumento al presupuesto del Distrito tiene requerido por ley reducirse por un tercio en los años fisc-ales 2023/2024 y 2024/2025. Debido a que el existente aumento al presupuesto no se reduce por un tercio hasta el año fiscal 2023/2024, el propuesto aumento al presupuesto será igual al presupuesto alternativo de 2022/2023. La cantidad total del aumento al presupuesto se calcula en $8,224,899 y se financiaría de una tasa de impuestos que se calcula en $0.50 por cien dólares de valoración neta tasada usada para fines de im-puestos secundarios sobre la propiedad, lo cual es aproximadamente igual que la actual tasa de impuestos percibida para el existente aumento al presupuesto. En los años futuros, la cantidad del aumento será de acuerdo con lo proporcionado por la ley. La elección será una elección solamente de boletas electorales enviadas por correo. No se proporcionarán lugares de votación. Las boletas se enviarán por correo a los electores con derecho a voto que residen den-tro del Distrito no antes de 27 días antes de la elección y a más tardar 15 días antes de la elección. Las boletas deben ser recibidas o dejadas en una de las urnas de votación de los lugares determinados conforme a lo designado por el Departamento de Elecciones del Condado y como se establece en folleto informativo y/o la boleta electoral a más tardar a las 7:00 p.m. del Día de la Elección. El folleto informativo se enviará por correo a los hogares de los electores con derecho a voto. Si la boleta electoral se pierde, se estropea, se destruye o no es recibida por el elector, el elector puede recibir una boleta electoral de reemplazo en los lugares de reemplazo de boletas designados por el Departamento de Elecciones del Condado.
