Scottsdale approves Axon housing deal

After a dispute over a massive new headquarters, the Scottsdale City Council has approved an agreement with the weapons tech company Axon. The initial plan for the 70-acre campus asked for 1,900 housing units, but that plan was rejected.

The council agreed to a compromise with Axon, allowing the company to build 1,200 housing units in its development at the Loop 101 and Hayden Road. Of those 1,200 housing units, half will be apartments, and the other half will be transformed into condos.

Mayor Lisa Borowsky of the City of Scottsdale, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss the agreement and what this could mean for the future of Scottsdale.
