Here's your local news at a glance for Thursday, the 9th of October.
Good morning, Goodyear.
🏘️ Community
Today during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, New Life Center – one of the largest domestic violence shelters – calls on the community to support survivors with both immediate shelter and long-term safety plans.
CEO Kate Thoene said the center will address physical, emotional, and financial abuse to help victims build lasting stability.
🏛️ Government
Goodyear city manager Wynette Reed will retire on March 6 in 2026 after a 39-year career in public service.
Officials will form a subcommittee — a national search will soon begin — to find her replacement.
The Goodyear Public Works Department was recognized with the Best Safety Innovation Award by SWANA for launching a pilot program that uses a thermal imaging system on trash trucks to alert drivers when temperatures reach 200°F—providing more time for safe load disposal.
The city will continue using the system and educating residents on proper battery disposal to reduce fire risks.
