The Benson City Council voted unanimously on Monday to approve the final plan for a 28,000-home development in the San Pedro Valley — even as a federal permit on which the project relies remains in question.
The master-planned community, Villages at Vigneto, would include retail and office space, parks, community trails, schools, medical facilities, vineyards and a golf course.
More than 50 people attended the public hearing on Monday, with some voicing passionate support or opposition to the project, which supporters say will boost Benson’s lagging economy.
