In our posting Oro Valley Town Manager Asks State To Approve Arroyo Grande Plan,
we noted there may be a problem with the Oro Valley Council's recently approved General Plan Amendment for Arroyo Grande.
With all good intentions, the council made sure that a TEP substation would not be part of the natural open space within the wildlife corridor. Well, it appears that other sinister forces were at work.
As we know, the Arroyo Grande parcel to the north of Sun City is within the confines of Pima County. It seems that Chuck Huckelberry, Pima County Administrator has other plans for Arroyo Grande, including having the TEP substation on a 3 acre parcel right through the wildlife corridor.
Those amongst us that feel Pima County would be a better steward of the land, rather than Oro Valley, might be disappointed in this latest turn of events.
Those of our readers that may be interested in more of the details, can listen in on the Dec. 10 Council Study Session available on the OV web site.
