STATE OF THE CITY
A Message from the Mayor
I am pleased to present the 2020 Avondale Annual Report,
recapping the City’s tremendous progress of the past year.
In spite of the challenges and hardships our country faced
as a result of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, Avondale
rallied as a community around our residents and businesses,
demonstrating resiliency, adaptability, courage, innovation
and determination to forge ahead. And what a year it was!
All eyes were on Avondale in 2020, when Phoenix Raceway played host for the first time in the state’s history, to the NASCAR
Championship Weekend, Nov. 6-8, 2020. With the entire community unifying to showcase Avondale on the national stage
and make the event a tremendous success, Avondale will once again host site for the 2021 NASCAR Championship Weekend.
Thanks to Avondale Edge, our ambitious and comprehensive economic
development initiative, huge strides in business, manufacturing, housing
and retail development were made. Phase 1 of AKOS Medical Campus,
boasting 68,000 square feet of Class A medical office buildings, was built
in the McDowell Road Health Tech corridor, while Phoenix Children’s
Hospital announced its plans for expanding its Southwest Valley satellite
facility and locating a Phoenix Children’s Hospital Sports Medicine
Clinic at The BLVD. ClearSky Health will build a 43,000 square-foot, 30-
bed facility to provide specialized rehabilitative care to individuals with
disabling injuries or illnesses, to open in early 2021.
To support the hot market of Avondale’s manufacturing and industrial
sectors, the long-awaited Fairway Drive Interchange project opened on
schedule in January 2021 to provide direct access to the manufacturing
and logistic centers along Interstate 10. Avondale boasts
more than 3 million square feet of industrial space under
construction with major projects including the 101
Logistics Park, Avondale 107, Hamilton Commerce Center,
and Fairway 10 projects.
On the retail side, Avondale welcomed many large and
small new businesses, including Hope’s Artisan Bread,
Tortas Manantiel, Da Man Cave Barber shop, Eric’s Family
Barbecue, Modern Grind, Sipping Sisters, Xanthi Greek
Food, Trapper’s Sushi, Popeye’s, Sun Valley Academy
charter school, and more. In recognition of the invaluable
contributions of local businesses, Eric’s Family Barbecue and Phoenix Raceway received the City’s first ever Leading Edge
awards, recognizing local businesses that have positively impacted the community and business environment.
At The BLVD, development has started to take shape. Avid Hotels will join the four hotels already located at The BLVD.
Aesthetic enhancements to the median along Avondale Boulevard were completed, and designs were undertaken to
enhance gateway water features to the city’s new core for shopping, dining, entertainment and living.
CELEBRATING 75 YEARS AS A CITY 3
A new master-planned community, Alamar, located on the southwest
corner of Broadway Road and Avondale Boulevard, started building
the first of its 3,695 homes. Beautifully planned with pocket parks
and public art throughout, Alamar also features a 30-acre regional
community park, now under construction for the entire Avondale
community to enjoy by the Spring of 2022.
Alamar Park is just one of the many City facilities under construction.
Avondale’s fifth fire station broke ground on Van Buren Street and 127th
Avenue, as did the Executive Offices and Conference & Visitor Center.
This facility will expand the footprint of the Civic Center Campus by
15,000 square feet to create an attractive, upscale space for business
meetings, conferences and corporate and social events. Among the
most notable celebrations was the grand opening for the Arizona Complete Health Avondale Resource Center at the
Marie Lopez Rogers Complex, providing vital community, housing and
human services. The City also completed its expansion of our Police
Headquarters, adding 14,800 square feet of space for a modern property
and evidence storage facility.
To ensure our historic areas remain viable into the future, the City focused
on a Specific Area Plan for the areas of Old Town, Cashion, Las Ligas/
Rio Vista, to reflect the evolving economic development and planning
conditions to attract new businesses and residential development. In
Old Town, four local businesses received façade improvements, funded
through the Community Development Block Grant. The facelifts have
improved the overall neighborhood aesthetic, increased the energy
efficiency of the buildings, and will attract new investment to the area.
Avondale continues to be a place where people choose to plant roots.
Our housing market is one of the hottest in the Valley; approximately
800 new single family homes are expected to come on line in the
immediate future. Alamar, Roosevelt Park, Vista Del Verde and Del Rio
Ranch are actively under construction, with Marbella Park, Oak Park
and Verde Trails subdivision beginning home construction in 2021. At
The BLVD, Avari Apartments and The Village at The BLVD, will add over
500 residential units to this mixed-use district in 2021.
I wish to express by gratitude to the many individuals who contributed
thousands of volunteer hours to the city. Whether it’s serving on a
board or commission, the Volunteers in Police Service (VIPs) program,
or giving of your time and talents in other ways, your contributions are making lives better in Avondale.
Avondale has come a long way since its humble beginnings as a farming community. The year 2021 marks the 75th
Anniversary of our incorporation as a city. While we have emerged as one of Metropolitan Phoenix’s fastest growing cities,
we are still characterized by our strong sense of community, embraced by residents and businesses. We are excited for the
next chapter of Avondale’s story to be written.
Sincerely,
Kenneth N. Weise
Mayor
