For Star subscribers: Ex-Gov. Doug Ducey had Arizona buy 2,200 containers to put on the border before he was forced to remove them. Now you can get them, cheap.
Howard Fischer Capitol Media Services If you ever wanted your very own shipping container, you'll soon get the chance, courtesy of former Gov. Doug Ducey's short-lived effort to build a border wall out of them.
Still, there should be plenty left of the approximately 2,200 shipping containers that Ducey had the state purchase so he could erect miles of containers to fill gaps left in the border wall started by former President Trump. So now the state is stuck with all of these containers it bought solely for the project, which now are simply gathering dust on the grounds of the state prison in Tucson. It's trying to get rid of them and try to recoup some of those expenses.
That didn't stop Ducey, Trump's fellow Republican, from issuing an executive order just weeks later, directing those gaps be filled with a line of 130 shipping containers, stacked two high, at state expense. Need something smaller? A Grade C 20-foot container will set you back $1,000 while $500 will buy a Grade D in the same size.Housing, offices, classrooms or storageThe state Department of Administration, which is marketing the items, says they can be be"repurposed'' for housing, offices, classrooms or other occupancy.
He said they are needed for storage space for equipment and supplies for parks, streets, sewage, sanitation and the fire department.State to take a big lossIf the state gets rid of all the containers, it will be at a loss — even discounting the construction costs.
