The City started with a bold commitment to create a centralized Civic Center complex built to accommodate a new city hall, police headquarters, and municipal court. Along with the municipal buildings that provided centralized government operations, the project included full infrastructure improvements along the major arterial street (Avondale Boulevard). This forward thinking commitment stimulated the development of a 25,000sf class A office that provided a corporate headquarters for Phoenix International Raceway. A few years later, a state of the art library was added to the campus.
