Bits and Pieces

Oro Valley-based Securaplane Technologies unveiled it plans for a 55,000 square foot facility in Innovation Park at neighborhood meeting this past Monday.  "Securplane offers certified wingtip, horizontal stabilizer and belly mounted camera systems, which provide ground based situational awareness for flight crews."

The project will use the EEZ approval proces. This was approved by the Oro Valley Town Council last month.    This is the first time that Oro Valley has used the EEZ process, a process designed to shorten the approval process for Innovation Park projects. The process can be used as long as the applicantion abides by all  existing zoning and PAD codes.

The property size is 6.7 acres. It will house office and light product assembly. It will employ 200-250 people.    From all accounts we received, this project should be a "slam dunk"
