Phoenix is buying the Wells Fargo Plaza skyscraper next to City Hall for $46.5 million, which will allow the city to consolidate workspace and create a central government campus at the heart of downtown.
The Phoenix City Council voted 7-2 Thursday to buy the 27-story building at 100 W. Washington St. to house the city s 911 dispatch center, and eventually police headquarters and other departments. Councilmembers Sal DiCiccio and Jim Waring voted against the purchase.
