FLORENCE – Four solar energy farms outside of Florence, Eloy and Arizona City were approved with major amendments to the Pinal County Comprehensive Plan by the Board of Supervisors Wednesday.
Box Canyon solar project covers [2,424] acres owned by the State Land Department, nine miles north of Florence on the west side of State Route 79; the Sonak project covers 1,882 acres southwest of Eloy; the Arizona City project covers 1,667 acres southwest of Arizona City; and Eloy Solar covers 1,252 acres southeast of Eloy.
These projects must now apply for rezoning from the mostly residential zones currently on the land.
