“I can see we got a larger response than we expected tonight,” Bev Jackson, president of the Cornville Community Association, told the nearly full gymnasium at Oak Creek School on Tuesday, Nov. 12.
The more than 250 residents of Cornville and nearby areas — according to sign-up sheets the CCA asked attendees to sign — whooped and cheered in response.
The assembled locals on Tuesday night came out to discuss a potential development not far away, the proposed 2,500 unit Spring Creek Ranch development on Spring Creek Ranch Road off of State Route 89A, and the necessary zoning change the county would have to enact to allow it. Though the development is north of Cornville and is not planned to connect directly to the area, Cornville residents expressed staunch opposition to the plan, arguing it would detrimentally affect their own neighborhoods.
