At the July 7 Oro Valley Town Council Meeting, the issue of renaming the Naranja Town Park, was discussed.
We believe the bigger issue is not what you call it, but whether or not a community with a total population of approximately 40,000 is in a position to need, want and more important; afford a $160,000,000 expenditure for a park, including an outdoor amphi-theater.
On June 27, we posted what Al Heinze, an OV neighbor had to say. Below is an excerpt.
"I just returned from Chicago. They are going to contend for the summer Olympics; a metropolitan area of some 8 or 9 Million people. That sounds like a reasonable thing to do. The Chicago Tribune was questioning the advisability of spending $120,000,000. on three (3) new yacht basins on Lake Michigan. WOW! And we are talking about spending $160 mil on the Naranja Town Park."
So, do you think Mayor Loomis makes more sense when he says; "I think we should go for it all," alluding to the full expenditure, or do you agree with Al's take when he says: "Are we nuts, or what?"

Nieghbor Evan Wise, in a May 7th posting, presented a way for Oro Valley to build a town-site in a very constructive manner over a number of years so that many generations can put their mark on the park. Revisit Evan's ideas by clicking on link on the Naranja Town Site under the "Specific Issues Link" on teh left column of our blog.
