At Pinal Partnership’s March breakfast, our speakers dialed in on Northern Pinal County, and attendees heard the latest updates on the Apache Junction, Gold Canyon and San Tan Valley regions. The panel consisted of Chairman Todd House, Supervisor Mike Goodman and Apache Junction Mayor Jeff Serdy. The discussion was moderated by Jordan Rose, Chair of the Pinal Partnership Board of Directors.
Supervisor Goodman shared an update on San Tan Valley’s incorporation efforts. Goodman believes a portion of San Tan Valley should be incorporated, while he also empathizes with Queen Creek’s planning area, as he does serve as their Supervisor, using the analogy of being San Tan Valley’s Mayor while the Board of Supervisors serves as their city council. Currently, he is working to bring San Tan Valley a library through partnerships with Florence Unified School District and Poston Butte High School. When Jordan Rose asked where in his district we should all go to visit once the transportation corridors are complete, Goodman answered the Regional Park and San Tan Flats.
