In August 2011, the City of Avondale entered into a professional services agreement with Gangplank Collective (Gangplank) to manage a collaborative workspace for technology-focused small businesses, entrepreneurs and the curious.  With doors officially open in March 2012, following remodeling of the City’s former City Hall, Gangplank Avondale is already home to six West Valley businesses and entrepreneurs, three (3) of whom have committed to being Anchor tenants.
