FLORENCE – A new advisory council aims to unify San Tan Valley’s diverse communities and provide “a structured collective voice” to Pinal County government.
“Our goal obviously is to work with the county and make sure that the members of the community in San Tan Valley are taken into consideration, that their voices are heard, and we can be a tool utilized between the county and that community,” Joseph McKnight, chairman of the new San Tan Valley Advisory Council, told the Board of Supervisors Wednesday.
He said council members wanted to present their plans to the supervisors “to make sure we’re on the right track.” The council’s mission includes advocating for the views and priorities of the community, and working with Pinal County to implement the county’s strategic plan for their area, known as the San Tan Valley Special Area Plan.
