Ground broken on Agua Fria transit facility

Agua Fria Union High School District has just broken ground on its new transportation and warehouse center which will serve the growing district.  

The district of nearly 8,500  students had “simply outgrown the current facility,” Superintendent Mark Yslas said at a March 16 board meeting. 

The new facility is part of a $55 million voter-approved bond passed in 2019 that will pay for a number of improvements for the district and for individual campuses.  

The facility is under construction and is located at Thomas Road and Cotton Lane in Goodyear. Ground was officially broken on the project March 17.  

A district spokesperson did not immediately respond to questions about when the facility is expected to be completed. 

The school board voted unanimously to purchase the land which will eventually house the facility at a Jan. 2021 meeting. That deal was finalized in November 2022.
