Arizona Fresh: Agri-food
Innovation Center
After a public offering process, the City of Phoenix Community and Economic
Development Department recommended Arizona Fresh Holdings LLC for the
redevelopment of the Del Rio former landfill site.
Arizona Fresh Holdings LLC will develop "Arizona Fresh: Agri-Food Innovation
Center." A multi-phase project to ultimately create the nation’s leading source of
innovation and education in the production and distribution of food.
The main elements of the project are a wholesale produce distribution center, a retail
food market, a community park, education, and research facilities related to food and
agriculture.
The Arizona Fresh: Agri-Food Innovation Center is expected to create more than
1,400 direct and indirect construction jobs, 1,500 jobs once in full operation, a capital
investment of $200 million, and $848 million annual economic output related to
project operations, based on the current plans for four phases of development of the
project.
