The Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is pushing hard for the 28,000-home Villages of Vigneto project in Benson, asking the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to back it.
The Hispanic chamber’s letter to the Corps says the Benson project promises $20 billion in badly needed economic benefits for Southeast Arizona, big increases in property and sales tax revenue, and more regional demand for goods and services.
It will help create thousands of construction jobs, the letter says.
