Incorporation revived in New River Desert Hills

Grassroots group requests annexation from Phoenix, Peoria, Scottsdale

This June incorporation efforts by residents in the New River and Desert Hills area were stopped in its tracks after the City of Phoenix declined to give its permission, which is required by state law because the communities share a common border.

Phoenix’s denial came as a blow to the residents that had worked diligently for almost two years on getting an incorporation measure to the local ballot, especially because petition signatures had already been filed with Maricopa County.

And just when locals in the rural community thought incorporation efforts had evaporated like a puddle in the sizzling summer heat, the Let New River Desert Hills Decide Political Action Committee (PAC) came whirling on to the scene like a dust storm.
