The Az Star reports that a building permit has been issued for a new Ritz-Carlton resort. But, most Oro Valley citizens won't care inasmuch as the resort is coming to Dove Mountain in Marana, not to Oro Valley.
For those who may not recall, this was the resort that was coming to Honey Bee Canyon in Oro Valley back in the early '90's. To entice them, the Town Council put in a new $900,000 water system, and promised a"bed tax" rebate.
Well, as we all know, the Ritz-Carlton pulled out, but that didn't stop the Council from giving a similar bed tax deal to the existing El Conquistador resort. In case you don't know it, that "not necessary" deal has already cost OV a couple million dollars----but, who's counting. After all, it's only our money!
