Pinal County staff are planning for a $70 million 30-year bond issue for new county facilities and renovations over the next two years.
These include a new five-story county attorney office building next to the existing courthouse at a cost of $20 million. County Manager Greg Stanley told the Board of Supervisors new county complexes in San Tan Valley and Maricopa would reduce citizen travel time to and from county offices, and provide easier access for more people to a variety of county services.
The county would eventually save $203,400 per year on buildings it currently leases, including the sheriff’s substation in Queen Creek; the District 2 supervisor’s office and Family Advocacy Center in San Tan Valley; and the District 4 supervisor’s office in Maricopa, Stanley said.
