Central Arizona College buys 217 acres in Maricopa

Central Arizona College, a community college system that serves Pinal County, is buying 217 acres in the city of Maricopa and scouting for about 200 acres in the San Tan Valley for new campuses. Plans call for paying $13 million to private developers for the property in Maricopa, near Bowlin Road and White and Parker Road. The money comes from a $99 million bond initiative approved by Pinal County voters in 2008 to build two new campuses and expand and renovate CAC’s 10 facilities throughout Pinal County. With three campuses and seven satellite centers, CAC is bursting at the seams, said Tom Di Camillo, the system’s director of media and community events. The Maricopa campus will be able to serve 15,000 students.
