The city of Avondale will soon be the home of a new Prime Data Center. Here's what officials are saying about the project.
AVONDALE, Ariz. — Drive by the corner of West Lower Buckeye and Avondale Boulevard and you'll see dirt and farmland. However, growth is happening. A McDonald's was recently built there, a stoplight was installed and a new development of homes is also nearby. City leaders are looking forward to the next step.
"It's a big deal for us, it's a multi-billion-dollar investment in our community," Chapa said."It's one of the largest investments that's ever happened in Avondale." "I think there've been some products in the past, some older technology that was less than perfect," Chapa said."High water use, a little bit louder and frankly the design wasn't their primary function, the way it looked. Dealing with groups like Prime, who understand if we're going to be in the community we need to check all those boxes, that was very appealing to us. They understood they can't just come in and be that old model, they have to bring something new.
There is some pushback with the project. People in the community want to see more local businesses, grocery stores, and restaurants. Chapa said he understands the concern but said the data center will help the area grow in the long run.
