Miller To Discuss County Issues Relevant To Oro Valley

Pima County Supervisor Ally Miller will be hosting a Town Hall at 6PM tomorrow in the Oro Valley Branch of the Pima County Library.  "As your representative on the Pima County Board of Supervisors, it is critical I hear your thoughts, concerns, and comments on current issues facing our County," notes Miller in a press release.

Supervisor Miller will present her thoughts on several different areas: Roads maintained by Pima County, which includes La Canada; Pima County debt; and Economic Development.  These are all of importance to those of us living in Oro Valley.

There are also some specific county-involved matters that are of importance to Oro Valley residents. Here's our list of things we'd like to hear about:
  • Funding to complete Steam Pump Ranch.  Funds to complete the ranch were supposed to have come from the county in a prior bond funding. The bonding never materialized. All we have now is a beautiful plan and a dust pit ranch.  What is the county's vision of Steam Pump Ranch?  Will they help or should Oro Valley plan to "go it alone."
  • Partnering with Oro Valley to create a business incubator in Innovation park.  An incubator is a facility for start ups businesses. There is one, for example, that the University of Arizona operates on the far east side.  Oro Valley's Innovation Park is a prime location for this type of facility.  What will the county do to partner with Oro Valley?
  • Oro Valley’s roads are in good shape because Oro Valley maintains them.  What role will the county play in rebuilding Tangerine Road into major East-West road?  What role will it play in continuing to rebuild LaCholla as a new Oro Valley North-South road?
  • Completing a spur from the CDO shared-use trail, under Oracle, to Catalina State Park is on the planning horizon.  Our understanding is that this is a project that is the responsibility of the county. Where does this project stand?
What items of direct relevance to Oro Valley would you like to ask Supervisor Miller?
