Making Oro Valley Developer Friendly

In "Oro Valley leaders set plans in motion for economic development", an article that appeared in "Inside Tucson Business", Mayor Hiremath and Town Manager Watson both stress their belief that it is growth in economic development that will bring about a successful Oro Valley.

My synthesis of the article is that the Mayor believes that:

1. Only economic development can provide increasing revenues to Oro Valley because only then will there be more commercial developments that will provide sales tax revenues to Oro Valley
2. Annexation is important to this because it will give Oro Valley more developable land.
3. Streamlining the development process from an alleged 16 to 18 months to 5 to 8 months will make a big difference in making Oro Valley a builder friendly community
4. Only lack of sufficient potable water will limit Oro Valley's growth.

Do you agree with the Mayor?
