ORO VALLEY, Ariz. (Nov. 26, 2025) — Mayor Joseph C. Winfield delivered the 24th 2025 State of the Town address with a clear message for business leaders and regional partners: Oro Valley’s continued success will rely on resilience, forward-looking governance, and disciplined financial stewardship.
Speaking to a full audience at the Oro Valley Chamber of Commerce’s annual event, Mayor Winfield credited the Town’s strength to collaboration—among businesses, community partners, Town staff, and engaged residents. He highlighted that “Oro Valley’s strength has never come from any one individual—it comes from all of us,” setting the tone for a presentation centered on long-term community sustainability.
While Oro Valley remains one of Arizona’s most desirable communities—including a recent ranking as The Most Livable Place to Retire in the West—the mayor acknowledged the realities of a maturing Town approaching build-out. Limited developable land and construction-sector delays have slowed growth-related revenues in 2025, though Winfield emphasized this year’s shortfall reflects timing, not trend.
