Group in Avra Valley wants project to be extension of I-10
By Kevin Reagan | Casa Grande Dispatch
Eloy and Casa Grande officials recently signaled support for the state’s Interstate 11 project, though residents down in Avra Valley continue to oppose the proposed freeway.
Over the last couple years, Albert Lannon has been questioning and criticizing the freeway that is expected to connect Wickenburg to Nogales. He’s a member of the Avra Valley Coalition, a community group of about 200 residents that live in a rural, unincorporated area north of Tucson.
Lannon said a freeway such as I-11 has no use for Avra Valley residents, so the coalition objects to the idea of it possibly cutting through their community.
