Good morning, Queen Creek.

Queen Creek Town Council forwarded a recommendation on Wednesday to the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control for a liquor license application from Queen Creek BBQ Co. — a small family-owned restaurant at 21824 S Ellsworth Road that opened on March 7 serving Southern-style barbecue and wood-fired pizza.

Yesterday, the Arizona Commerce Authority and partners opened the Future48 Workforce Accelerator at Central Arizona College’s Superstition Mountain Campus in Apache Junction — a 19,850-square-foot training center for future battery professionals — in a ceremony with local leaders.

The facility will train workers for LG Energy Solution’s Queen Creek plant and help create 1,500 new jobs by 2027 — a boost that supports the growing battery manufacturing industry.
