A Message From Mayor Eric Orsborn:

As we reflect on the past year and look toward the future, I am proud to share the incredible progress Buckeye has made. Our city continues to be one of the fastest-growing communities in the nation and with that growth comes responsibility—responsibility to invest in our infrastructure, secure our water future, support economic development and ensure a high quality of life for our residents.

Buckeye is thriving because of our strategic vision and the dedication of our community. We have welcomed new businesses, made significant progress in securing long-term water resources and taken big steps to enhance public safety and transportation. These investments will ensure our city remains a premier destination for families and businesses alike.

Thank you for your continued support in shaping Buckeye’s bright future.
