::In February 2007, the Surprise City Council unanimously approved an infrastructure reimbursement agreement with Westcor, facilitating construction of the largest regional mall in Arizona, Prasada. The agreement calls for Westcor to bear the cost of construction and installation of up to $240 million in infrastructure at the Prasada site, along SR303 in Surprise. The city will assume ownership of the infrastructure and reimburse Westcor for the cost by rebating sales taxes generated by Prasada itself. At full build out, the city expects to realize $60 million per year in sales taxes and projects that Prasada will create more than 20,000 jobs for local residents.http://www.surpriseaz.gov/Archive.aspx?ADID=2350

Talk:Desert Hills, Arizona

message: I grew up in Desert Hills, Arizona, and it wasn't in Mojave County. I grew up in the area known as Desert Hills that's just south of New River in Maricopa County (right where Del Webb moved in--everything south of Desert Hills Drive is considered Desert Hills). There's a lot of local recognition of that place name; a lot of associations in New River will call themselves New River/Desert Hills to acknowledge that it includes both areas. A Web search for "new river desert hills" in quotes will back me up on this. I doubt that the census acknowledges the place, though.

The article states "Ajo (pronounced ah-ho) is the Spanish word for garlic." The name "Ajo" is a concatenation of the original "Ajoita" which the mine town was named: Little Garlic. The diminuative was dropped around the year 1938.
By 1940 the mine was using five 525 horsepower water pumps in their massive well, pumping out 102 degree Fahrenheit water 690 feet out of the ground. The average water volume pumped was 4,800,000 gallons per day. The mine pit was 465 feet deep.

message: An edit on 17 Jan 2018 by an anonymous IPv6 address incorrectly "corrected" a statement about pipe capacity, basing the "correction" on the idea that pipe capacity scales linearly with diameter. In fact, pipe capacity scales with the cross-sectional area of the pipe. The cross-sectional area of a 72-inch pipe is about 3.1415*(72/2)^2 = 4071 sq. in., while that of a 36-inch pipe is 3.1415*(36/2)^2 = 1018 sq. in., exactly one quarter of the former number after accounting for rounding error. Thus, two 36-inch pipes have, as was correctly stated prior to the edit above, one half of the required capacity.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kulp (talk • contribs) 15:13, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

I have lived in "Gold Camp" for 6 years now and I have not ever heard anyone ever call it "Gold Camp". The main page for this article indicates "The community is sometimes colloquially called Gold Canyon." People who live here sometimes call it "Gold Canyon" about 99.99% of the time. In fact, the community sign on the US60 freeway heading east bound indicates that you are entering "Gold Canyon". The only way I found out about "Gold Camp" is Google changed the name of the area from "Gold Canyon" to "Gold Camp". In fact, I would like to see any proof of any businesses named "Gold Camp XXXX" instead of "Gold Canyon Golf Resort", "Gold Canyon Car Wash", "Gold Canyon Bank", "Gold Canyon Community Church", etc.

message: I've removed the population estimate because of two problems: contrary to the statement in the article, the source website was copyright 2001 and gave no other evidence of its date, and the boundaries of the area considered by the article are uncertain.  If a page from 2001 says that the population "is" a certain number, we can't realistically say that the population was that number in 2007.  Moreover, who is to say that those making this estimate envisioned an area with boundaries equal to that of the census-designated place?  It would be one thing for a municipality, as municipalities have better-known boundaries, but for a CDP the boundaries aren't marked and are often indefinite.  Moreover, the Census Bureau provides no estimates for CDPs; while this by itself isn't enough to make or break the estimate, the lack of an official Census Bureau estimate means that there's no way to replace this local estimate with a sourced Census Bureau estimate.
