The Az Star reports what we already noted here---An initiative is underway to stop development of 570,000 acres of state lands including most of the area known as Arroyo Grande.
As we noted, Oro Valley plans on spending $500K on legal & consulting fees in initiating a pre-annexation agreement.
Oro Valley is looking for citizen input. As such, the town & state land representatives will be hosting a meeting on Mon. May 19 @ 6:00-8:00PM at town hall.
Oro Valley town council and staff read this blog. Please use this forum to let them know what you think of this potential annexation.
We believe it is NOT in our best interests. Why?
First of all, we believe NO funds should be expended while there is a good chance a large portion of the area under consideration will NOT be available for development.
Secondly. Water! Where will it come from?
Additionally, how much costs in infrastructure will be incurred?
Also---keep in mind, this area on our northern border is a main corridor for wildlife. Haven't we infringed enough on their domain?
Finally---Isn't there enough traffic on our one and only north/south corridor, Oracle road?
Please comment here on your thoughts.
