The Pinal County Board of Supervisors began 2017 with a public hearing on a potential land purchase for economic development purposes, according to a press release.
The hearing, mandated by Arizona state statue, was to discuss and take public input on a bond package that would facilitate a purchase of land west of Casa Grande that would be utilized or leased for future industrial, manufacturing, distribution or similar activities and projects.
County Manager Greg Stanley testified before the board Jan. 4 that this move comes in anticipation for a development agreement with Lucid Motors, according to the release.
