CASA GRANDE — “Zombie” subdivisions across Casa Grande are being brought back to life as homes continue to be built and the population is projected to grow significantly.
Those are partially built neighborhoods that were left incomplete due to the recession around 2008.
“They were created by land developers back in 2005 to 2007,” Planning and Development Director Paul Tice said. “They sat there until we started building there.”
When these developments were initially being built, some of them had water and sewer lines and some even had streets built.
“Now that housing is booming again, they (builders) first look at zombie subdivisions,” Tice said.
The only inactive “zombie” subdivision left over from the 2008 building boom in Casa Grande is Tuscany, on Peart Road and Earley Road, south of Florence Boulevard.
According to Tice, about two or three years ago there were only two builders in Casa Grande. Now there are 17.
“The short version is that all zombie subdivisions, except one, have come back to life,” Tice said.
According to Tice, the only one that is inactive is Tuscany, on Peart Road south of Florence Boulevard.
