Verrado construction is well under way
Verrado, Buckeye’s first major development, came a long way in 2003.
In April, the planned community hired Mary Kurth as its town manager and broke ground Sept. 10 on its first school, Verrado Middle School in the Litchfield Elementary District.
Verrado Way, the $10.8 million Interstate 10 interchange, was finished in August, along with a golf course.
As the first phase of the 14,000-unit development nears completion, Verrado finally will open its model homes’ doors for the public Jan. 24 at its grand opening.
