It’s a special time to be in Goodyear as what was once a scallion farm back in the 1970s is getting transformed into a downtown that we’ve all been waiting for . But since it can be hard to visualize what the future will look like , the city is sharing a glimpse of it through a drone tour .
Construction is popping up along 150th Drive near McDowell Road to develop GSQ – Goodyear’s downtown . The walkable urban center will be a destination for dining , entertainment and shopping . Several businesses have announced they’re coming to GSQ with many under construction .

High Tide
,

Shake Shack
. These are the types of businesses Goodyear has been asking for and they will be steps away from Goodyear City Hall , the library and Civic Square Park which opened in Aug . 2022 .
"We are committed to growing our city in a meaningful way , and this project is a great example of that goal , " said Mayor Joe Pizzillo . "Our public/private partnership with Globe Corporation made this project possible and is also a catalyst for economic vitality as restaurants , retail and entertainment venues join us in this mixed - use development . This truly is a great time to be in Goodyear!"
