Here
is the latest on what’s new in the
Pinal Comprehensive Plan!
Pinal
Preferred Future Workshops—Register Now! |
In
February, we received feedback from residents on
the three land use and transportation plan approaches
developed: Trends, Dispersed Growth and Corridor
Focused.
During these workshops, we heard that: |
- Participants
favored the "Corridor Focused" alternative that concentrated significant economic
and residential development along the central-Pinal
corridors, but they cited the desire to identify
some additional development in East County.
- Participants agreed that allowing higher-density development in some parts of Pinal County was
an acceptable solution to preserving
large swaths of open space in the County.
- Participants
saw a need for both intra- and inter-Pinal
transit opportunities, such as bus
rapid transit and commuter rail between Phoenix
and Tucson.
- Participants
favor the consideration of a commercial
airport in central Pinal.

Casa
Grande Alternatives Workshop. |
Consistent with each previous step in this process,
the Pinal County Comprehensive Plan project team
analyzed this input and will be presenting a preferred
land use and transportation alternative for public
review this month.

Gold
Canyon Alternatives Workshop.

Participants will review and discuss the preferred
alternative and have the opportunity to provide
detailed feedback. |
