The Arizona State Land Department is planning to renew talks with Oro Valley next month regarding the annexation of 885 acres of state trust land on either side of Tangerine Road.
The move comes amid rumors that the state department was shopping the parcel to nearby Marana after discussions with Oro Valley were tabled earlier this year. It has also reignited neighbor and environmentalist concerns regarding the land, which is located in a special species management area in unincorporated Pima County.
