PHOENIX – An Arizona-based conservation group is suing the state’s water resources director over concerns about a large housing development in Cochise County.
The Center for Biological Diversity filed a lawsuit against Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) Director Tom Buschatzke on Aug. 4, citing concerns that the city of Benson’s groundwater supply is below the standard for new housing as required under state law.
At the center of the complaint is the Village of Vigneto, a development that includes plans for 28,000 homes. The Tuscany-inspired, master-planned community will span 13,000 acres and have a golf course once completed.
