Project Overview
The General Services Administration (GSA) is planning to construct housing for U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) employees in Ajo, Arizona. There is currently
insufficient housing available to accommodate CBP employees who work at the
Lukeville Land Port of Entry (LPOE) and the Ajo Station in Why, Arizona. Other
housing options for CBP employees in the vicinity of the Lukeville LPOE are limited due
to a scarcity of available rental properties. The GSA is proposing to address this need by
constructing housing for CBP employees in Ajo, Arizona.
The GSA is proposing to develop seven parcels in south Ajo, in unincorporated Pima
County, Arizona. The first parcel is located at 55 S. Sahuaro St. and currently supports a
partially occupied, 11.54-acre mobile home park. The next is a small unaddressed parcel,
approximately 0.42 acre, immediately adjacent to the southwestern corner of the 55 S.
Sahuaro St. parcel. The remaining five parcels consist of vacant parcels, addressed as
801, 811, 821, 831, and 841 W. Esperanza Ave., totaling approximately 0.78 acres
immediately adjacent to, and north of, the 55 Sahuaro St. parcel. For the purposes of this
project, all seven parcels will herein be referred to as the subject property.
The scope of work for this project consists of:
• Constructing 18 to 28 modular homes on the subject property (Phase 1)
• Constructing associated sidewalks, landscaping, and infrastructure, as needed
• Constructing up to 28 additional units at the subject property if funding becomes
available in the future (Phase 2)
Project construction of Phase 1 is proposed to begin in late 2010 or early 2011. The
homes would be 1, 2, and 3 bedroom modular homes.
