Oro Valley residents could get the community recreation center they’ve been wanting for a bargain price — but it will cost everyone a little more in sales taxes.
The town could buy a country club and turn it into a community center as part of a bigger deal involving the sale of the Hilton El Conquistador, which Tucson-based HSL Properties wants to buy for an undisclosed sum.
HSL would sell the country club and golf side of the business to the town for $1 million. That’s well below market value, Town Manager Greg Caton said. The town would run the community center and contract with Troon Golf to operate the golf courses and restaurants. HSL would run the resort.
