FLORENCE — It’s exciting to see Pinal County transition from an economy reliant on new homes to one based on manufacturing 21st-century products, Board of Supervisors Chairman Steve Miller said at Friday’s Pinal Partnership meeting.

“I think at some point here Pinal County is going to become a manufacturing hub — everything from Lucid to Nikola to other entities that are eyeballing this county, and not just the Casa Grande area,” Miller, R-Casa Grande, said.

“I hope that anything we pass or any direction we take doesn’t just benefit any one district. It should benefit the entire county. I want to see us kind of convert our economy to something different than — don’t get mad at me everybody — homebuilding. It’s all good, but we just cannot rely on that as our only source of economics. I think we’re slowly transitioning over.”
