Mayor Winfied offers: "State of the Town"
Mayor Winfield addressed the Chamber of Commerce last week. He gave his "State of the Town" speech. His speech featured the town's strategic plan, a plan he observed was build from the General Plan. Also speaking at the event were the town economic czar, JJ Johnston: Kristy Diaz-Trahan, Parks and Recreation Director; and Police Chief Chief Danny Sharp. The Greater Oro Valley Chamber of Commerce hosted this fundraiser at the El Conquistador resort. You can watch and read his remarks here.
State Lands Annexation is back
"The Arizona State Land Department is planning to renew talks with Oro Valley next month regarding the annexation of 885 acres of state trust land on either side of Tangerine Road." according to the Arizona Daily Star. This happens after the department told the town on July 31 that they were too busy to pursue annexation discussion with the town. What could have happened to change their minds so quickly?
According to the article, a representative of the Department stated that they had not been talking with Marana about this annexation. Why, indeed, would they even say that? Would it be, perhaps, that they explored the idea with Marana and found out that Oro Valley is the only town that can possibly deliver water to this area? LOVE, of course, will follow this as it develops.
The question is: How big do you want your town?
Its a seller's market for Oro Valley's homes
Long Realty's October report observes that Oro Valley is now a seller's market for homes under $1million. For most years, Oro Valley homes have been a buyer's market. This is a good time to sell if you want to get out of town.
